To tell them apart the easiest way is to look at the pan.
C3 pan looks like this and has 13 bolts

C4 pan looks like this with 11 bolts

Could a C3 bell be lathed or machined to work on a C4?

BTW, how do you tell an A4LD apart from the C3 and C4?

a4ld are 3 speeds with o/d and usually have 18 bolts in the pan and really dont look like a c3 or c4.
