Who's done a manual to automatic swap on a daily driver.

RStrick0352 · November 2nd, 2008, 01:39 PM

What all was involved, what transmission did you go with, what were the oh shits involved, roughly how much did it cost? Trans brake not required.

Hah why put a automatic in your car? I have a automatic and wish it was a standerd but i hear automatic own the drag.

You answered your own question, lol. Less problematic too as I keep increasing the power also.

06GTMustang89 · November 2nd, 2008, 02:02 PM

you daily drive your stang with an electric water pump??

Avaric3 · November 2nd, 2008, 02:04 PM

if youre gonna swap in an auto go wit the 4r70w or 4r75w (pretty much the same) for a dd

Bkbulldog · November 2nd, 2008, 02:05 PM

water pump on a DD is a nono? i was thinking of getting one but my car is also a DD

RStrick0352 · November 2nd, 2008, 02:10 PM

The car has 26,xxx miles with no issues. Makes regular 1600 mile round trips to florida also. I'd let you all know if it was a no no or not.

Since you drive it on the highway so much I think a built 5R55S would be the way to go seeing that is what is offered from the factory so it would make a swap easier, and it is a 5 speed, where the 4r70w is a 4.

RStrick0352 · November 2nd, 2008, 04:38 PM

Thats the direction that I'm leaning for exactly those reasons. I was hoping maybe someone could give me the lowdown on just how involved the swap is.

06RedfireGT · November 2nd, 2008, 05:06 PM

I couldn't see it being more than a cross member, driveshaft, and a wiring harness.

blackhavok · November 2nd, 2008, 06:40 PM

i need a 5r55s built! a 4r70 would be pretty cool on ur car seeing as u already have a manual computer!

I work on these transmissions every day if you think you will keep making more power you should go with the 4r70w much stronger than a 5r55
I put one in the car I drive and beat the hell out of it runs 10.0 on transbrake
here is the site http://www.fbperformance.com
no wiring harness or pcm needed manual shift with o/d push button and lock up converter

Don't forget the cooler and lines, a converter and a shifter.

And from what I understand, quite a bit of massaging of the tunnel (A.K.A.: beating the crap outta the tunnel until it fits) for a 4r70W
