69 Mach 1 trans question

Recommended Posts

Did the C-6 auto trans come in the 69 Mach 1 with the 351 Windsor only? I always thought the FMX was the only auto used in the Machs with the 351 W 2v. I know there were manuals and I do know the C-6 did come with other motor options. Just trying to educate myself. Thanks all.

The small block C6 did not become available until the early 70's. So on a 69 no it was not there from the factory. It WILL however bolt in on such applications because I have done it no problem. FMX and C4 were the only small block automatics for 69 on Mustang to the best of my knowledge. B.

no, 1969 351's had the fmx as well

 

Correct.

 

C4 was for 302 and 6 cylinder applications. I am not sure if Ford had some FMX transmissions they needed to use up or they weren't confident that the C4 would hold up to the 351, but the only auto for 69/70 351 engines, H or M code, was the FMX.

 

Hindsight says they should have used the C4 instead.
