Foromatic
What should I figure $$$ for getting my 53 auto trans rebuilt? Not even sure if it needs it but now would be the time to do it with the engine out?
Thanks |

Re: Foromatic
I replaced mine with a c4, If I had it to do over I would use an aod for the over drive option! Mine is wound pretty tight at 60 mph.By the way it is in a 53 customline two door sedan stock 239 8ba.

Re: Foromatic
The one I am redoing is a 53 vic, stock 8ba. I have a 53 and a 54 donor car but just the 1 with automatic that I am using. How much trouble was the c4 to install/

Re: Foromatic
If you use the fmx trans in the fordomatic case you get a true three speed. The last overhaul kit i bought was under 200. suppliers are listed in hemmings.
