I am rebuilding a 68 mustang with a 302 350hp engine. I am having the C4 transmission rebuild and was asked if I wanted to add a second stage to it. I agreed since the cost was relatively low but still do not understand the real detail of what it is. Can someone explain what the real benefit will be to me?

I don't know what the weak areas of the C4 are, but it might also involve upgraded friction pads/plates. Some transmissions can fit an extra clutch disc for more holding power. Some serious upgrades also include stronger sprag clutches and/or clutch baskets. A common GM upgrade is a different servo valve that increases clutch pressure which reduces slippage.

The particulars of a "stage 2" upgrade will vary from shop to shop. Make sure you know what you are paying for.
