New tranny for my stang

GT Thunder909 · 09-21-2009

thinking about a new tranny for my car when i get the money. what is a good one at a good price? also i will be spraying the car so it will need to be able to take the abuse.

T-56, Viper spec 6 speed, almost anything made by Tremec. Be prepared to spend upwards of $2k+ for a good tranny.

i have an automatic. and i know that im going to be spending alot of money just woundering what would be the best thing to do rebuild or get a performance one.

Just build your 4R70W. It has the standard 6 planetary gears, so it will handle the abuse. J has one on his twin turbo car, and it has held up nicely.......

Replace: your auto with a 4R70W

j/k

Rebuild: Check out this link for info on Ford auto tranny's, their differences, and how to rebuild one (featuring the infamous J-mod, by Ford Engineer Jerry

).

But unless you are going serious power (450hp+), your stock auto should be able to handle it -- I would just recommend installing a J-mod by switching valve-bodies aka "shift kit" and tuning your auto to shift harder/firmer. If you are going high power, then replace with a performance auto tranny (lentech, B&M, etc)
