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
Page 295 of 413

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

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).

2.
Attach the pressure gauge to the
control pressure outlet at the trans-
mission (Figs. '., and 7).
3.
Firmly apply the parking brake
and start the engine.
On a vehicle equipped with a vacu-
um brake release, apply the service
brakes. The parking brake can not be
used because the brake automatically

releases when the transmission selec-
tor lever is moved to a drive position.
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.
