I was wondering why you do not see too many things about C6 transmissions in mustangs. Its always C4 and AOD's. I understand the weight difference but C6's are practically industructable. I have one in my car with over 500 horses with a wide ratio ford motorsport gears and converter and I swear my tranny is still laughing at me when I get on it. I think they are awesome!!
C6 Tranny's anyone?

I know they are bullet proof but they weigh a tonne. Most of the time a C4 is plenty but if you can find a C6 and plan on some power (lot's) than hell yea a C6 is the ticket.

they are awesome, and i dont know why people choose the c4 over the c6 except for weight. i guess there are a ton more aftermarket parts for the c4 also

Is the c6 even an overdrive tranny? If not it's a worthless pos behind anything unless it eats c4's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It' way too damn heavy imo, and wouldn't have one behind a typical street car making streetcar power. Of course imo a built AOD is the way for a street car, b/c overdrive kicks arse.
I`ve read that the C-6 robs a lot more horsepower than a C-4.
I don`t know how well they fit in fox bodies.
It`s basically a big block transmission for the older cars/trucks.
The only factory small block C-6 application I can think of was in 72-73 with 351C-4V engines.
My 72 Mach 1 with 351C-4V has a C-6.

You have to get a small bellhousing C6 to fit a 302. Mine bolted right in. The only thing I had to modify was the shift linkage to work with the stock shifter. My driveshaft and everything else from my old combo bolted right up. I have heard also that they will rob a little more HP than a C4. I just like have something reliable even when it is beat on.8950HO said:

A C6 will suck ~100rwhp on a car pushing 600+hp.
They weigh alot more than a C4 and are quite a bit bigger.
Buddy of mine had a C6 in his 700hp notch and just swapped it for a C4. He put down like 55hp more just by swapping the trans.
Oh and with the C6 he could never lift the front tires. Now they are always up.
