Title: 1966 C4 reverse/high drum piston return springs
Post by: pepperglenn on November 04, 2023, 08:59:30 PM

Anyone have any idea where i can find these springs? I tore down a transmission and its missing two of the 10 reqd springs. See picture below for reference.

Did you by chance look in this forums' library under topic "ConcoursMustang.com Official 66 Mustang Article List"? There you will find a link to "1965-72 Ford Master Parts Catalog MPC" (it's real name is "Ford Car Parts", which is printed on every page.) From that you should be able to get a Ford Service stock number to aid you in your search (like e-bay, and vintage Ford parts suppliers).

Is it part of the basic part number 7A480 as highlighted here?  If not, what part are you looking for?

Looks like the ten C4AZ-7A480-B springs were not serviced separately, they were serviced as part of the C4AZ-7A480-C "Spring - Reverse Clutch Piston"

It appears that Green Sales in Cincinnati OH may have what you need

Ultimately, somebody is going to have to come up with a Ford number. It might as well be you. That saves a lot of wear and tear on catalog pages if you had it to start with.

E-bay. It took me 30 seconds. Under $20 for a Ford NOS kit.
