The Ford C4 was a three-speed, light-duty Automatic Transmission introduced in the 1964 model year and produced through 1986 . It featured an aluminum alloy 3-piece case (bellhousing, main case, and tailhousing). This was significantly lighter than earlier Cast Iron Cruise-O-Matic designs. It also used a Simpson Planetary Gearset . It was used with Ford's inline six-cylinder engines and small V8 engines (see Ford Windsor Engine s), usually up to 302 in³ (5.0 L). By comparison, the 351 Windsor and 351 Cleveland small and intermediate-block engines were backed by the medium-duty FMX . A few C4s were built with a big-block bellhousing to use with Ford 335 Engine s, notably the 351M, but these are very rare. It is especially notable as the original automatic transmission option in the Ford Mustang . Modified C4s remain popular with Hot Rodders and Drag Racers due to their simplicity and durability.
