The valve bodies on C-6 & C-4 Ford transmissions were a major problem with these transmissions, even after professionally cleaning.
A lot of them would not shift/downshift correctly and many times another VB would have to replace it.
I worked at a large independent Auto repair and we did nearly all transmission work for the local dealerships also. Many times I would repair a NEW C-4 or C-6 with only a few miles, that had shifting problems.
My suggestion--if the transmission is reasonably clean, drop the VB in fresh fluid immediately.
I think a lot of VB problems were created by Ford in that they used a metal SCREEN for a filter!!
If you do decide to clean the VB DO NOT USE SANDPAPER on any part of the VB.
All VB of this era--and really, ANY valve --has a sharp edge designed to clean the bore. When sanding you will break this edge and contaminants will Jam the valve.
