c6 questions

[NJBIGBLOCK]

I have a ford c6 automatic hooked to a 429 ford that I want to test run for a few minutes. The trans has no yoke in it,and the trans is dry. Will I damage the trans if i do this and if I fill the trans with fluid must I have the yolk in the trans ? Also , are all of the yolks for the c6's the same spline? Thanks

Hi NJBIGBLOCK,

Dunno the answer. I'd call Carl Rossler at http://www.Rossler Transmissions, Inc., (330) 530-5000 to find out

BTW, it's yoke, not yolk, no joke

I'd say that you would damge the tranny running it dry. The yoke splining should be the same, although they are not the same, for your purpose any one will do. I also believe that the manual trans ones are the same splining as well. That indicate sthat I feel you should install a yoke, although it is mainly a cleanliness issue....no fluid leakage. You also want to make sure that you run a line between the 2 oil cooler fittings, but a cooler isn't needed for your purpose.

Thanks for the info. I have a line between the cooling fittings now from the previous owner. I will fill it up with fluid. Hey Tom , Guess what I had for breakfast that day ! Ha Ha I do know how its supposed to be spelled
