MAN# 650023B 

Mounting to a Ford C-4 transmission 

 

 

This mounting plate connects to the lower two bolts of the four bolt plate located on the left 

side of the transmission just behind the shift linkage arm.   

 

 

 

Ford C-4 linkage connector. 

 

Depending on the shifter you are using, you may use the linkage connector provided.  The 

bottom hole is for the sensor rod, the center hole is a pivot point for the connector, and the upper 
hole connects to the linkage rod.  A nylon cable tie can be passed through the two side holes and 
around the linkage connector to keep the linkage connector secured tightly.  If this does not fit your 
shifter, then you will need to drill an 1/8” hole into your shift linkage arm to attach the rod to. 

 

STANDARD ARM

LONG ARM

ARM FLIPPED

 

For the C-4 transmission the arm on the gear shift sender will need to be flipped around so 

that it rotates on the bottom half.  Make sure that the slot in the shaft is in line with the sender arm 
as shown in the diagram.
