Hello everybody,
After a rebuild/restore of the engine it is not given the impact which i hoped for. Because i had to brake the engine in i found out that when i am standing still for a while eg. traffic light then the car really accelerate from a standing still. After the shift 1/2 and or 2/3 and you press the pedal to the floor it goes not with a really- expected- acceleration. I purchased the Hayness manual for the Ford Tranny's and following the troubleshoot it seems that the oilpump could be the rootcause. Has/can anybody confirm this idea. So far i am -yet - not able the measure the pressure, but if this can point out i will do some efford the measure it.( manometer no problem but the right coupling and hose ) Something i must do to point out the problem??
I haven't yet inspected the filter but i guess even its dirty it won't clear this major problem.Something i must do???
If it is the oilpump given not enough pressure is it then possible to repair only this item with the C4 still under the car or is a overhaul the only answer?
Also some expected problem inside the torque-converter because when you drive a bit backwards, brake, shift to Drive manytimes then the engine stalls. Hayness points here to the one-wayclutch inside the torqueconverter.
Question, does an overhaul of the converter give you more power towards the system.
Reparing/overhaul a C4 costs a few bucks, say about 800-1000 euros including the converter and sometimes it looks that overhaulingshops tells you not the real story so they can sell you a new one instead of some repair. Aside of this i can tell that the tranny shift quit well no delayed or slipping shifts . The oil is a bit brown and after a ride and i checked a few times the dipstick there are always black deposits on it.
So the main question remains, complete overhaul or is an repair possible and worth it.( This car is getting making me broke). Is this the right expression, i doubt . Sorry.
