What type of transmission?
I just bought a 67 F100 ranger, and I'm curious the type of transmission it is. I think it's an FMX it has 14 bolts on the pan, looks like the dip stick is actually in the pan and the modulator is on the drivers side? The engine is a 352, would this be a stock transmission if it is an FMX? If it is an FMX is it good.

Re: What type of transmission?
I have narrowed it down between The FMX and Medium cruise omatic. Can anyone tell me about these transmissions?

Re: What type of transmission?
Can't be an FMX for two reasons. First, the FMX was not used until 1968. Second, the FMX dipstick goes into the case.J_Boo wrote:I have narrowed it down between The FMX and Medium cruise omatic. Can anyone tell me about these transmissions?
The MX Cruiso was last used in Fords in 1967 (Ford replaced it with the FMX in 1968), but continued to be used in a few other vehicles as well as forklifts for a few years after 1967.

So this MX Cruiso was that stock in 67 trucks? Is the modulator valve on the drivers side? O

Modulator is on the back of the case, not the side of the case.

Re: What type of transmission?
It is on the back, but like the C4 it is on the back passenger side. This one is on the back driver side. Does that sound correct?

Re: What type of transmission?
usually (from what i've seen anyways) an fmx has an iron case and a c4 has an aluminum case - that was the easiest way for me to tell when i used to go crawling under old pelters while junkyard raiding

C4 is ALWAYS aluminum case.
