3 -Speed Column Shift Adjustment (1966-1977)

Have you heard this before...

"I have a three speed column shift that will not shift into 2nd or 3rd.
The shift arms appear to move on the column while going through the gears,
but it does not go into 2nd or 3rd. Is this a column problem or a tranny
problem. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot it ?"

C-4 Transmission Swap (1966-1977)

Converting to a C4 Transmission

To use a C-4 or C-5 out of a car or truck other than the Bronco you have to use the Bronco tail shaft which means taking apart the tranny to swap them. It is far easier to use a complete C-4, flex plate, convertor, t-case input shaft, all misc. bolts, intermediate housing, and auto starter straight from an EB! Since this is often a source of confusion, it is repeated below:

The Early Bronco had some transmission parts that were specific to this vehicle. You must use the correct part for a proper conversion.
