C4 Problem

Dave Noll · 04-18-2013, 12:07 AM

I have a C4 in my other Cougar & during a pass @ the opener, I put the trans in 3rd and it flared REAL bad. (never did that before) I let off the gas but it felt like it was still in gear so I got back in the gas & it held. Got to the ticket booth & it fell out of gear & I heard something rattling.Got it back to the trailer & checked the fluid. Full & no burnt smell, nice red & clean. Put a pint in anyway & tried again. No go & rattling. Tried again half an hour later, went right into gear stayed in about 30 seconds, fell out of gear and rattled again. It doesn't sound like a really bad pilot bushing in a stick car. It sounds like a rattle. Any ideas where to look when I tear into it? (I want to use this trans in my N/SA car).
