Transmission ?

96vert · 02-17-2008, 11:09 AM

I want to change my 5 speed to an automatic out of a 2000 gt. What all do i need besides the obvious? Do i need to change computers, will i need a tune? Is their a harness that i need. Please help!!!

96vert · 02-18-2008, 04:01 PM

Is there a seperate computer for the auto transmissions or can i bolt it in and go..

why would you want to go from a sporty 5spd to a slushbox? normally ppl go the other way, to get rid of Ford shitty automatic.

other than I had one in my 94 4.6L T-bird. and it crapped out on me twice...or was that three times.

Too many neutral drops I guess.

I am going to boost the car and when you put good parts behind the auto they are a pretty good tranny and can hold some decent power.

It's still strange though since the norm is to go vice-versa, unless you are bracket racing or running the 1/4 in 8 seconds.

nope, not a one. maybe since it was an older 4R70W it wasn't as good as the newer ones....that is if they are any different, I dunno.

Steeda97 · 02-19-2008, 10:26 AM

The 4R70W is the chit!

bassman97 · 02-19-2008, 10:57 AM

You sure that was a 4R70W and not an AOD/AODE? I know the earlier 4.6s had those.

lol, nothing. except you dont have...i mean GET to shift on your own. its a preference thing.

PColav6 · 02-19-2008, 05:10 PM

I guess it can handle a ton of power compared to other auto transmissions yet still have consistent shifts..factoring out driver error when it comes to shifting.

Eh?

Autos have their advatages but they are just plain boring to drive

TJeffer3 · 02-26-2008, 06:19 PM

I have an auto and I would much rather have the 5spd.
