Electronic Auto in an 03 Cobra?

C MY 4D · May 4th, 2008, 06:59 PM

Well I'm starting to research an auto swap in an 03 Cobra. If I was going with a C4 or any other dinosaur tranny it would be straight forward. But I want to make it complicated and want to keep it just as streetable as it is now with the 6 speed. Anyone have any opinions on reliable setups?

what about a c4 with overdrive?

Gear Vendors under/overdrive transmissions the most awarded auxiliary transmissions.

Yeah the option of installing a overdrive unit on the back of a C4 is possible..... I'm gonna start looking at the option of a 4L100.

Wheres the T56 going?

I know a red GT that does not move much that would not mind it...lol

I'm not sure yet I'm not dead set on doing the swap yet and really have no idea what I want.

4r70w from gt is all you need & as bonus 100% bolt in. built proper it can handle anything a streetable car can throw at it.

HBK_2007 · May 16th, 2008, 12:09 AM

i agree, 4r70w or 4r75w, both will bolt in

I think I am gonna run into issues with the Cobra computer with one of those....

HBK_2007 · May 16th, 2008, 02:15 PM

i dont think you will

SWEET2KSTANG · May 22nd, 2008, 07:36 AM

computer will take to it just fine. you will have to have the auto stuff unlocked and get a wire harness for the auto. me and doc just did a auto to manual swap in his mach. i dont know if he has the write up done on it yet, but he has all the pics from it too. he is going to be selling all the auto stuff off his car soon except for the wiring harness. you can modify the harness for the auto to manual, but not manual to auto. there are a lot more wires on the auto harness.

I am familiar with what it takes beyond the computer to do the swap. I have done a few to older mustangs. I'm just not sure if the Cobra's computer has the ability to run an automatic. If it doesn't what computer would be able to run the cobra motor with the automatic. The Cobra's computer has a few more sensor inputs that the other cars don't. It would make sense with the Mach since it came with both the auto and manual. Unfortunately the Cobra did not.

you'll be fine just need good shop to get computer straightend out. since your not that far I would sugest SGS in gettysburg pa

SWEET2KSTANG · May 22nd, 2008, 09:39 PM

the cobra computer has parameters for an auto, it just has to be unlocked.

Cool.... I'll look into it some more once I decide which way to go with the car. I have been having an awful lot of fun with the twisties lately.

SWEET2KSTANG · May 22nd, 2008, 09:54 PM

i dont know what kind of tuner you may have, doc sent his diablo to houston performance and they took care of tuning for the swap. as for the twisties, the auto's is a pain to work with. manual down shifting lead to the demise of doc's; 4r trannys dont hold line pressure.

C MY 4D · May 22nd, 2008, 10:02 PM

Its a diablo but will be recieving an SCT before it is tuned. If I continue playing in the corners I will stay with the T56.
