M U S T A N G - I N S I D E

Hallo liebe Mustangkenner,

kann man an dem Bild erkennen, um welches Automatikgetriebe es sich handelt ?

Es ist unter einem 1968 Fastback mit J-Code Motor.

Laut Beschreibung ein Cruise O Matic.
Was ist denn der entscheidente Unterschied zum C4 ???

Vielen Dank

C4 halt! Im Prinzip sind alle 3-Gangautomaten von Ford Cruiseomatic, reiner Marketingbegriff damals, also auch C6 und FMX.
WELCHES C4, welcher Bauart Du da am Wickel hast, lässt sich nicht erkennen.

Cruise-O-Matic

The Ford-O-Matic was a cumbersome, frustrating piece of technology. It started in second gear when placed in “Drive” and then shifted to third. Drivers had to manually shift into low at the “L” position and use it as a first gear. Drivers had a tendency to forget to manually shift out of low to Drive, often putting a strain on the transmission and shortening its life. The Cruise-O-Matic arrived in 1958 and solved that problem. The Cruise-O-Matic featured a sprag, which offered another “D” or Drive position and marked with a green dot. The new automatic still featured a Low position, but the sprag allowed the transmission to shift automatically from low to second to third. This green dot gear pattern remained until 1967, when Ford replaced it with the now-common 1-2-D pattern for three-speeds.

C-4

The C-4 arrived in 1964 and like the Cruise-O-Matic was a hydraulically controlled rear-wheel-drive automatic. It was commonly matched with six-cylinder and small-block V-8 engines.The C-4 differed from the Cruise-O-Matic with its three-piece case consisting of the main case, bell housing and tail housing. Although it used a Simpson planetary gear set like the Cruise-O-Matic, the C-4 was considerably lighter. While the Cruise-O-Matic featured a three-bolt bell housing pattern, the C-4 had a five-bolt bell housing pattern in 1964 and six-bolt pattern starting in 1965. The C-4’s bolt patterns allowed the transmission to be easily adapted to many different engines. The C-4 also featured two dipstick variations: The dipstick in the case for passenger cars and the dipstick fitted directly in the transmission pan for trucks.

Gear Ratios

The gear ratios for the Cruise-O-Matic and C4 transmissions varied slightly. The Cruise-O-Matic had a 2.40-to-1 first gear ratio, 1.47-to-1 second gear and a 1.00-to-1 direct gear third. The reverse gear was 2.00-to-1. The C-4 had a 2.46-to-1 first gear, 1.46-to-1 second and 1.00-to-1 direct gear third. Its reverse was 2.18-to-1.

Deshalb bin ich mir unsicher
Eine Cruise-o-Matic würde demnach doch gar nicht andockbar sein ...??


@ Heiner Vielen Dank

Ford o Matic und Cruise o Matic (C4) sind zwei verschiedene Getriebegenerationen. Nicht verwechseln!
