DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

The RAN and RAT Model three-

speed transmission (Fig. 1) are used

on models having 170, 200, 240, 250,

302,
351 and 390 C.I.D. engines. The

specifications of this section, Part 6-4,

lists the transmission model numbers

and vehicles in which they are used.

A transmission service identification
tag is located on the right side of the

case at the front (Fig. 2). The first

line on the tag will show the transmis-

sion model and service identification

code when required. The second line

will show the transmission serial num-

ber. Additionally, a driveline compo-

nent identification tag is attached to

the upper right side of the transmis-

sion case.
This transmission is of the fully

synchronized type, with all gears ex-

cept the reverse gear and sleeve being

in constant mesh. All forward-speed

changes are accomplished with syn-

chronizer sleeves.

The forward-speed gears are

helical-cut and are in constant mesh.

Gears used in the reverse gear train

are spur-cut and are not synchronized.

N/A indicates that the item is not applicable to the vehicle listed.

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.

l
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-
procarmanuals.com

07-01-04
General Transmission Service

07-01-04

taching bolts to the proper torque. If

necessary, replace the gasket.

Check the fluid filler tube connec-

tion at the transmission case or pan.

If leakage is found here, install a new

O-ring or tighten the fitting to the

specified torque.

Check the fluid lines and fittings

between the transmission and the

cooler in the radiator tank for loose-

ness,
wear, or damage. If leakage can-

not be stopped by tightening a fitting,

replace the damaged parts.

Check the engine coolant in the ra-

diator. If transmission fluid is present

in the coolant, the cooler in the radia-

tor is probably leaking.

The cooler can be further checked

for leaks by disconnecting the lines

from the cooler fittings and applying

50-75 psi air pressure to the fittings.

Remove the radiator cap to relieve the

pressure build at the exterior of the oil

cooler tank. If the cooler is leaking

and will not hold this pressure the

cooler must be replaced. Cooler re-

placement is described in the Cooling

System Section of Group 11.

If leakage is found at either the

downshift control lever shaft or the

manual lever shaft, replace either or

both seals.

Inspect the pipe plug on the left

side of the transmission case at the

front. If the plug shows leakage, tor-

que the plug to specifications. If tight-

ening does not stop the leaks, replace

the plug. On a C6 transmission, a TV

pressure plug is also provided on the

right rear side of the case.

When converter drain plugs leak,

remove drain plugs with a six-point

wrench. Coat the threads with FoMo-

Co Perfect Seal Sealing Compound or

its equivalent, and install the plugs.

Torque the drain plugs to specifica-

tion. Fluid leakage from the converter

housing may be caused by engine oil

leaking past the rear main bearing or

from oil gallery plugs, or power steer-

ing oil leakage from steering system.

Be sure to determine the exact cause

of the leak before repair procedures

are started.

Oil-soluble aniline or fluorescent dyes

premixed at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon

of dye powder to 1/2 pint of transmis-

sion fluid have proved helpful in locat-

ing the source of the fluid leakage.

Such dyes may be used to determine

whether an engine oil or transmission

fluid leak is present or if the fluid in

the oil cooler leaks into the engine

coolant system. A black light, how-

ever, must be used with the fluorescent

dye solution.

CONVERTER LEAKAGE

CHECK

If there are indications that the

welds on the torque converter are

leaking, the converter will have to be

removed and the following check

made before the unit is replaced.

A leak checking tool (Fig. 2) can be

made from standard parts. The tool

can be used to check all converters.

1.
Install the plug in the converter

(Fig. 3) and expand it by tightening

the wing nut. Attach the safety chains.

2.
Install the air valve in one of the

drain plug holes.

3.
Introduce air pressure into the

converter. Check the pressure with a

tire gauge and adjust it to 20 psi.

4.
Place the converter in a tank of

water. Observe the weld areas for

bubbles. If no bubbles are observed, it

may be assumed that the welds are

not leaking.

ENGINE IDLE SPEED CHECK

Check and, if necessary, adjust the

engine idle speed, using the procedure

given in Group 10.

If the idle speed is too low, the en-

gine will run roughly. An idle speed

that is too high will cause the vehicle

to creep, have harsh engagements and

harsh closed-throttle downshifts.
ANTI-STALL DASHPOT

CLEARANCE CHECK

After the engine idle speed has been

properly adjusted, check the anti-stall

dashpot clearance. Follow the proce-

dure given in Group 10 for checking

and adjusting this clearance.

MANUAL LINKAGE CHECKS

Correct manual linkage adjustment

is necessary to position the manual

valve for proper fluid pressure direc-

tion to the different transmission com-

ponents. Improperly adjusted manual

linkage may cause crossleakage and

subsequent transmission failure. Refer

to Linkage Adjustments in Part 7-2,

7-3 or 7-4 for detailed manual linkage

adjustment procedures.

CONTROL PRESSURE

CHECK

When the vacuum diaphragm unit is

operating properly and the downshift

linkage is adjusted properly, all the

transmission shifts (automatic and

kickdown) should occur within the

road speed limits specified in Part 7-5.

If the shifts do not occur within

limits or the transmission slips during

shift point, the following procedure is

suggested to determine engine, trans-

mission, linkage, vacuum diaphragm

unit or valve body problems.

1.
Using the automatic transmis-

sion tester (Fig. 4), attach the tachom-

eter to the engine and the vacuum

gauge to the transmission vacuum line

at the vacuum unit (Fig. 5).

4.
Adjust the engine idle speed lo

the specified rpm. If the engine idle

speed cannot be brought within limits

by adjustment at the carburetor idle

adjustment screw, check the throttle

and downshift linkage for a binding

condition. If the linkage is satisfacto-

ry, check for vacuum leaks in the

transmission diaphragm unit (Fig. 8

or 9) and its connecting tubes and

hoses.
Check all other vacuum oper-

ated units (such as the power brake)

for vacuum leaks.

blocked off.

Then connect the vacuum hose to

the transmission vacuum unit. If the

gauge still reads 18 inches, the vacuT

urn unit diaphragm is not leaking. As

the hose is removed from the trans-

mission vacuum unit, hold a finger

over the end of the control rod. When

the hose is removed, the internal

spring of the vacuum unit should push

the control rod outward.

ALTITUDE

COMPENSATING-TYPE

The vacuum diaphragm should be

checked for ruptured or damaged bel-

lows.
Check the diaphragm assembly

as follows:

1.
Remove the diaphragm and

throttle valve rod from the transmis-

sion.

2.
Insert a rod into the diaphragm,

making sure that the rod is buttonec

in the hole. Make a reference mark on

the rod where it enters the diaphragm

hole.

3.
Hold the assembly in such a way

that the end of the rod is resting on

the weighing surface of a scale (Fig.

9).

4.
Gradually press down on the dia-

phragm assembly until the rod is

pressed into the diaphragm body. If

the reference mark on the rod is still
visible with 12 pounds of force regis-

tered on the scale, the bellows are in-

tact. If the mark disappears before 4

pounds of force is exerted, the bellows

have failed and the diaphragm must

be replaced. If the bellows are intact,

then perform various pressure checks.

SHIFT POINT CHECKS

Check the minimum throttle up-

shifts in D. The transmission should

start in first gear, shift to second, and

then shift to third, within the shift

points specified in the specification

section.

While the transmission is in third

gear, depress the accelerator pedal

through the detent (to the floor). The

transmission should shift from third to

second or third to first, depending on

the vehicle speed.

Check the closed throttle downshift

from third to first by coasting down

from about 30 mph in third gear. The

shift should occur within the limits

specified in the specification section.

When the selector lever is at 2, the

transmission can operate only in sec-

ond gear.

With the transmission in third gear

and road speed over 30 mph, the

transmission should shift to second

gear when the selector lever is moved

from D to 2 to 1. The transmission

will downshift from second or third to

first gear when this same manual shift

is made below approximately 25 mph

with a C4 transmission, 30 mph with
D 1791.A

a C6 transmission or 35 mph with an

FMX transmission. This check will

determine if the governor pressure and

shift control valves are functioning

properly.

During the shift point check opera-

tion, if the transmission does not shift

within specifications or certain gear

ratios cannot be obtained, refer to the

Ford Car and Truck Diagnosis Manu-

al to resolve the problem.

AIR PRESSURE CHECKS

A NO DRIVE condition can exist,

even with correct transmission fluid

pressure, because of inoperative

clutches or bands. Erratic shifts could

be caused by a stuck governor valve.

The inoperative units can be located

through a series of checks by subst-

ituting air pressure for the fluid pres-

sure to determine the location of the

malfunction.

To make the air pressure checks,

drain the transmission fluid and re-

move the oil pan and the control valve

body assembly. The inoperative units

can be located by introducing air pres-

sure into the transmission case passa-

ges leading to the clutches, servos, and

governor (Figs. 10, 11 or 12).
