The Ford C6 transmission was a heavy-duty Automatic Transmission built by the Ford Motor Company between 1966 and 1996 for use with large, powerful Big-block V8 engines. It featured three forward speeds and reverse.

It was initially built at the Livonia Transmission Plant in Livonia, Michigan , but production was shifted to the Sharonville Transmission Plant near Cincinnati, Ohio during the mid- 1980s .

It was very similar to the C4 Transmission but could handle greater power. It was used primarily in trucks, although it was also used in some larger cars with big block engines (see Ford FE Engine and Ford 385 Engine . The transmission is very popular in the sport of drag racing today, with units equipped with manual valve bodies and transbrakes, some of which are air shifted.
