Recommend a Transmission Vendor (Ford)

FireSale · 07-16-2015, 10:43 PM

I'm at my wits end trying to get my 68 Mustang 302 out to the track and I'm about ready to replace the transmission. It's a C4 from TCI that shipped with a case that wouldn't fit the transbrake I bought. The case was thread in and the brake is push in. I got a push in case and had a local trans shop rebuild it with the internals of the TCI. The issue is broken front pump seals under load. I have gone through about three of them and the car has never made a solid run down the track. The bell housing is an SFI unit that has been machined so that fit isn't the issue.

Short version: I'm ready to call it quits and order a new trans before it starts snowing or something stupid like that. Any recommendations for a good trans vendor? Performance Automatic and Hughes are on my look list.

The car was built with GT/MA in mind, but it will have to be a streetable bracket racer until I can afford a trailer and better truck.
