How to Identify a Turbo 350C
- 1). Drive the car onto the car ramps carefully. Turn off the engine and place the car in park. Set the emergency brake as a precaution. Place the wheel blocks behind and under the rear wheels. Hydraulic floor jacks and jack stands can be used in place of car ramps.
- 2). Turn on the drop light and position it through the engine compartment. The safest place to put a drop light is between the firewall and wheel well. The goal is to illuminate the area near the flywheel and torque converter on a Turbo 350C transmission.
- 3). Position the mechanic's creeper in front of the driver's side of the vehicle between the front wheels. Sit down and carefully slide backward until you reach the side of the transmission facing the driver door. This is the side opposite the transmission coolant lines.
- 4). Locate the bell housing on the 350C Turbo transmission. Directly behind the bell housing, on the driver's side, is the passing gear linkage. Next to the bracket that holds the linkage is a four-pronged electronic plug. This electronic plug is unique to the Turbo 350C transmission and is the only way to accurately identify this transmission from other 350 models.
