C3

The Ford C3 gearbox and its successor are the range of light longitudinal automatic gearboxes produced by the Ford Motor Company. The C3 was manufactured as a light-weight three-speed automatic transmission for mini-cars like the Ford Pinto. This transmission was compatible with 4-cylinder and small-capacity engines V6. The last application of this gearbox was in the 1989 Merkur XR4Ti. The C3 was upgraded into the A4LD 4-speed automatic transmission thanks to introduction of an overdrive gear, which was missing in the C3.
