The bulging of a disc is caused when the disc grows and comes to a point were it will touch the nerves of the spinal cord. The most common cause is age.

Mild diffuse posterior bulge of the c4-c5 and c5-c6 discs indenting the thecal sac?

This is likely describing a mild bulging of the discs at the c4-c5 and c5-c6 levels in the cervical spine, which is pushing slightly backward into the space occupied by the thecal sac, a membrane that surrounds the spinal cord and nerve roots. This bulging may be causing indentation or slight compression on the thecal sac, but the extent of nerve compression would need to be assessed clinically for further evaluation.

What is mild to moderate degenerative disease at C4-C5 C5-C6 and C6-C7 with disc space narrowing and loss of signal?

Your spinal cord that runs through the bone which holds all of your nerves that send messages to the rest of your body are being pinched by bulging discs. The discs serve to cushion between your spinal bones. As we age, the discs weaken. Swim, stop carrying heavy loads on your back, stretch, walk, eat less unhealthy foods since they cause inflammation of the body, and STAY HYDRATED! If you are dehydrated often, the discs lose their resilience over the years.

Is a ford c5 trans pan different than a c4 pan?

YES, if it's the stock c5 pan. The stock c5 pan has a hump in the middle of the pan for the transmission oil pickup, that is the only difference. However if it is changing or switching pans you are doing, there is some wiggle room. Since the c5 pan has the hump and the c4 pan is flat, you can put a c5 pan on a c4 trans. but you can't put a STOCK c4 pan on a c5 trans. Why did I emphasize stock? because if you can get a deep enough aftermarket c4 pan think it has to be deeper than 4 inches) it will clear the c5's oil pickup. So in other words if you get a deep enough c4 pan (deeper that 4 in. I think...) it will fit on a c5.
