Section 07-01B: Transmission, Automatic, C6 | 1996 F-250 4x2 and 4x4; F-350 4x2 and 4x4 Workshop Manual |
The C6 transmission is a three-speed unit capable of providing automatic upshifts and downshifts through the three forward gear ratios. The transmission is also capable of providing manual selection of 1st and 2nd gears.
The converter housing and the fixed splines which engage the splined outside diameter of the low-reverse clutch steel plates are both cast integrally into the case.
Only one (intermediate) band is used in the C6 transmission. This, along with the forward clutch, is used to obtain intermediate gear.
