Input Shaft difference c4 - c5 transmission

[firewalker]

I could not find a c5 tranny for my 84 ranger 4x4 so I took every bodies advice and put a c-4 tranny in the truck. To my surprise, nothing happened but grinding when I started the truck.

Thinking I did not get the torque converter set correctly, I immediately checked but it was ok. After pulling my hair for a couple of days, I finally discovered the pilot shafts were different between the c4 and c5. The c-4 will not engage correctly in the c-5 torque converter, and the c5 pilot shaft will not fit into the c-4. I can not use the c-4 torque converter because the 84 flywheel will only accept a 3/4 pilot shaft(c5) and the c4 has an 1 3/4" pilot shaft.

difference c4 c5
thickness .793" .846"
length 10.06" 9.75"
splines dual 24 26 on TQ end, 24 on C5 end.

Any Suggestions anyone, please help

I learned fast that we have maybe three guru's on this board and unless you can pull up their responses its hard to get an answer. There is only so much time in a day for these guys.

try looking up 410 fortune and c4 transmission.


Hope I provided some help.
