cortina mk2 automatic gearbox identification

[russellw]

There will be a number on the side of the gearbox but I didn't think the C3 came into use until around 1973 as the plant it was manufactured in didn't open until then.

I thought our models were equipped with a Borg Warner 35 3-speed auto.

To be honest I'm not sure the previous owner told me it's a C3 transmission. This weekend I will get under the car and will have look.

I think Russ is on the money.
Theres little to no info on the net about them but I did find this.

Looking through my workshop manuals they're giving detailed instructions on how to rebuild them but at no point do they say what the box actually is

However the MK1/2 manual is saying they're the same between the two marks.
And heres a pic from the factory Mk1 manual so, hopefully, you know what you're looking at and for.
Hope that helps.
