so i burnt my overdrive up in my transmission and i think its time for a new one, preferably one that will be good and RELAILBE when i turbo my car for graduation. but i no nothing about transmissions so what are some good ones for my car? or should i just beef up the one i have? btw its an automatic

T-56 swap, the auto is ok, but how could you not want the 6 speed

 

[ag11hockey]

t56 ftw

R tohse the ones in the f150 of the late 90s early 00s

 

[Lumoon]

4r70w if you want another automatic. They are solid transmissions and with a tuner you can make good hard shifts with.

Personally I'd go out and find either a solid 5 speed transmission that is electronically controlled and get a set of aggressive paddle shifters and a paddle shift kit and go have a blast.

high stall and 4r70w with shift kit, or manual swap it with a new clutch and short shifter.

 

[ESG-642T]

stock 4r70w and a trans cooler will prob handle more than you will ever make...


how did you go about burning out o/d ?

 

[walt1120]

keep the 4r70w and buy a shift kit for it. manual swap would be a waste of $ unless you really desired it.

 

[mustangmike!]

this thread is a bunch of funny !!!!
4r70w is whats in his car
yes we know its an auto if it has an "O/D"
im w/ Kyle, how in the hell did you do that ?
why did you get the lumpy cam if your going to turbo your car ?
+1 to built 4r70w

 

[Rich J]

Sure the car with an A/T wont be as fun to drive as a M/T... But the 4r70w can handle more power than the T-5. Hence why a bunch of the Cobras putting down a bunch of power do a manual to auto swap.

 

[mustangmike!]

plus, your girl doesnt have to stop, and move her head everytime you need to shift

 

[sterlingboy]

I mean I obviously would love a manual but the $ it would cost to change my car to that just isin't worth it. And he said just from driving my car too hard and "hot rodding it" everywhere i go, but I didin't have to pay a dime cause my car was still under warranty from the last time i tore the transmission up lol

 

[SlowSix]

...neutral bombs? I'm really confused how you broke the O/D lol

 

[sterlingboy]

it wouldnt shift out of third gear with o/d on. and idk i never shifted manually or anything and i never just threw it in to neutral at random times so i really dont know how it happened

 

[ESG-642T]

Anybody else want to point out the ignorance in this or should I just handle it?

 

[mustangmike!]

please do Kyle ...

Well Mike, actually it might not be ignorance.... Maybe I should just ask the question.

Most people figure overdrive on is when the car has the green o/d light on the dash... Is that what you mean by "wouldn't **** out of third gear with o/d on" ?

 

[SlowSix]

I'm hoping he knew that the light meant that it was off. lol.

 

[Matt.]

Yeah when the o/d light is it it prevents your from going into 4th gear. So if you needed to be in a lower gear going up a hill you would push overdrive so you stay in 3rd.

When auto trannys go they burn more than 1 gear usually? My brothers s4 burnt out 5,4,3 and 1,2 are still working. Auto to 6 speed swap going on atm

 

[mustangmike!]

uhhh yeah, my ex drove a 99 stang and her uncle (a mechanic) told her to turn that light on and it would save her gas hahahaha He was a little backwards she was using extra gas the whole time
