transmission swap, need help/advice

JoshDrex00gt · February 3rd, 2011, 08:59 PM

there's a similar thread so sorry. i talked to alan today at dirtydog about my transmission issues and he informed me the early model new edge stangs running the 4r70w auto tranny have manny issues when running boost. he said i'd need to swap it out. he recommended one from an 08 5.4l 2wd truck. i have no knowledge of this tranny. i had contemplated a mach 1 auto swap or going manual seemed the easiest of the two routes. any knowledge and advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.

can't say as I have ever heard that about 4r70w's, but then again, I'm pretty focused on N/A, so I could have missed it.

I certainly wouldn't put a manual in the car under any circumstances.

give Darrin a call & get his opinion on this, BCA home

me either Casper. Mine performed great last summer.

A mach1 4r75w is a nice tranny also.

agreed on the swap..stay auto.

JoshDrex00gt · February 3rd, 2011, 10:38 PM

got you, i was really wanting to build mine up or go the mach 1 auto i just cant afford all that right now i was low on funds anyways im kind of panicked.

Scott2001GT · February 3rd, 2011, 10:40 PM

you will be fixing your t45 or t3650 much as much or more. The 4R is a great tranny.

JoshDrex00gt · February 3rd, 2011, 10:42 PM

how much if anyone knows scott or casper is a rebuild to handle the power and problems im having. i had already purchased cams and a 10 psi supercharger pulley to bump her over 400whp & 400tq

Scott2001GT · February 3rd, 2011, 10:44 PM

what is happening?

JoshDrex00gt · February 3rd, 2011, 10:50 PM

i get on it usually in 3rd gear and at full throttle when it hits 70mph and goes to shift it doesn't catch 4th and hesitates a moment then revs to redline without ever going into gear.

Shaun03GT · February 3rd, 2011, 10:55 PM

How much boost are you making right now out of curiosity?

JoshDrex00gt · February 3rd, 2011, 10:56 PM

8.64 psi

Shaun03GT · February 3rd, 2011, 11:00 PM

Got yah. I figured it was around 8lbs with your torque number.

yeah i finally figured out why my numbers are a lot lower besides it being an auto. my initial timing is 8.5 degrees and peaks to 11 before sloping back off to 8.5 at redline so that it's safe as can be.

Scott2001GT · February 3rd, 2011, 11:05 PM

fuck man that is save. bump that shit up if your on 91 ot 93

JoshDrex00gt · February 3rd, 2011, 11:11 PM

yeah im running 93 24/7. i ordered the new pulley to go up to 10 psi that was tuners advice on safest power adder left. the cams should help it too but i have got to straighten out this tranny situation. i drive 250 miles weekly to school and work and cant have this mess going on.

Scott2001GT · February 3rd, 2011, 11:13 PM

is it just cruisinig around no WOT right?

right i mean daily driving is fine and nothings wrong but i cant ever get on it which sucks since i got boosted havent once been able to run through the gears like i hoped. i have never been to the track but i want to go once this is fixed and get the lower control arms put on.

Scott2001GT · February 3rd, 2011, 11:19 PM

mmm so you dont have 4th at all? never goes it.

can u turn o/d on and off?

Shaun03GT · February 3rd, 2011, 11:21 PM

Only 8.5 degrees? Wtf? Safe on the stock motors are like 16*

JoshDrex00gt · February 3rd, 2011, 11:22 PM

yeah it goes to 4th and o/d normal driving. its bizarre thankful the tranny works just wish it'd handle under boost

Scott2001GT · February 3rd, 2011, 11:24 PM

so i am confused..whats the issue?

you shouldn't be going WOT into 4th bro.
