Transmission ?
 
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.

Eh, sometimes. I have 4.10 gears sitting in a box waiting for me, so I'll be fine. haha.

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?

SLP02GT 02-26-2008 05:52 PM
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.

The 4R70W I had couldn't handle power at all. 210hp 4.6 killed it.
