Three different three-speed trans-
missions are used. The C4 Automatic,
C6 Automatic and the FMX Auto-
matic. Part 7-1 covers testing, com-
mon adjustments and repairs, and
cleaning and inspection for the three
types of transmissions. Where there
are differences in procedures or speci-
fications, the type of transmission af-
fected will be designated.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TESTS
When diagnosing transmission
problems, refer to the Ford Car and
Truck Diagnosis Manual for the de-
tailed information on the items that
could be causing the problem.
The following preliminary checks
should be made before proceeding
with other diagnosis checks.
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
CHECK
1.
Make sure that the vehicle is
standing level. Then firmly apply the
parking brake.
2.
Run the engine at normal idle
speed. If the transmission fluid is cold
run the engine at fast idle speed
(about 1200 rpm) until the fluid reach-
es its normal operating temperature.
When the fluid is warm, slow the en-
gine down to normal idle speed.
3.
On a vehicle equipped with a
vacuum brake release, disconnect the
release line and plug the end of the
line;
otherwise the parking brake will
not hold the transmission in any drive
position.
4.
Shift the selector lever through
all positions, and place the lever at P.
Do not turn off the engine during the
fluid level checks.
5.
Clean all dirt from the transmis-
sion fluid dipstick cap before remov-
ing the dipstick from the filler tube.
6. Pull the dipstick out of the tube,
wipe it clean, and push it all the way
back into the tube. Be sure it is prop-
erly seated.
7.
Pull the dipstick out of the tube
again, and check the fluid level. The
fluid level should be above the ADD
mark. If necessary, add enough fluid
to the transmission through the filler
tube to bring the level between the
ADD and FULL marks on the dip-
stick. Do not overfill the transmission.
Install the dipstick, making sure it is
fully seated in the tube.
8. Connect the vacuum brake re-
lease line if so equipped, and test it
for proper operation.
FLUID AERATION CHECK
A fluid level that is too high will
cause the fluid to become aerated:
Aerated fluid will cause low control
pressure, and the aerated fluid may be
forced out the vent.
Check the transmission fluid level.
Low fluid level can affect the opera-
tion of the transmission, and may in-
dicate fluid leaks that could cause
transmission damage.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEAKAGE CHECKS
Check the speedometer cable con-
nection at the transmission. Replace
the rubber seal if necessary.
Leakage at the oil pan gasket often
can be stopped by tightening the at-
