hey i was wondering what tranny i had in my 84 v6 2.8

i think i need a new tranny (automatic) cause it wont shift till i hit 60 km and then again at 110km

i think it is the c-3 (has 13 bolts on the pan)
and i have been looking in the wreckers for one but apparently are impossible to find. so i was wondering if there was anything that i could swap in without troubles?

have it rebuilt, its worth keeping

any you find in a 'yard will be the same age, and probably in worse condition

11 bolts is a C3. Both were used in the 83-84 range, although I believe the C3 went to 2wd's and the C5 was only on 4wd apps.

No, sounds like a pretty straight forward identification of your trans as a C3.
