Doing it with a 3 speed!......

HR9121 · 08-16-2012, 10:30 PM

I can't say I'm a expert on this but I did run a C-4 my first year and struggled a little bit with consistency. I tried my set up several different ways and could never get it where I was satisfied and switched to a powerglide. I will say the best results I got with the 3 speed were 1-2 shift on the stop and 2-3 shift down track both on time. Good luck hope this helps a little.

Most guys are closer to the 2800lbs and run a glide............not that this helps any.

It is what it is

I realized after I upgraded my 400 that a glide was the trans of choice. Live and learn. If unsuccessful in dialing it in I will source a glide for the future.
