    Transmission Possibilities (What would you do?)

    Think about how you spend most of your time driving. Be realistic. If you're in rush hour traffic a lot, shifting gets really old really fast. Consider changing your program parameters as suggested above. It will be a lot easier and cheaper.

    5w30 oil ok for 4.6?

    Can I use 5w30 engine oil for my 4.6 GT instead of 5w20 as required? I couldn't find 5w20 synthetic blend oil at Pep boys. I found 5w30 synthetic blend oil. I know that the 30 means that it can handle a higher temperature ranges on a conventional engine. My concern is that modular engines might...

    Tranny swap: 5spd manual(TR3650) to automatic(4r70w) swap

    Thanks for the offer guys. I'll get back to you later. I'm still not sure I'll convert to an auto. It's a little intimidating. Both the TKO and auto swap require a lot of work. Thanks again

    If I replace my EEC, will the Anti-Theft System let me start the car? If not, how do I fix it. Tow to the dealer?

    Anything else? Re: Replacing manual transmission with automatic in 2001 Mustang GT

    The reasons for the swap are many. Some of the bigger ones are: I love shifting most of the time, but after working 10 hours then driving in heavy traffic, isn't fun. My current transmission needs to be rebuilt($1,000 for the rebuild kit delivered). A swap to a TKO will cost about the same as...

    I heard on this forum that the TKO has internal stops. My car is a 2001 Mustang GT with Tremac TR3650 transmission. I was seeking info on this forum when I was told that all new Tremecs have internal stops. The TKO is a new transmission. I'm sorry, but I assumed that this the TKO has internal...

    The shifter is not as big an issue now because the TKO has internal stops. If the supplied shifter feels good use it, or use any aftermarket name brand. It's up to you.

    automatic transmission controller

    Anyone know what ECU years will work for my car? My body style is from 99-04. I learned long ago not to assume. I'm not sure on the terminology but I need the car computer. Powertrain Control Module (PCM?).

    automatic transmission controller

    I'm replacing my manual tranny for an auto(4r70w). My car is a 2001 Mustang GT. Where can I get an aftermarket automatic transmission controller? I'm wary of junkyard computers being fried(electrically). I also would like to adjust the transmission shifts.

    swapping 5 spd man tranny with 4 spd auto

    Thank SVTTECH I agree with you.The problem with a junkyard harness is that it is hard to find a fresh unmolested car. I worry about the condtion of the connectors. Can I search junkyards by internet yet? I haven't been for about 10 years.

    swapping 5 spd man tranny with 4 spd auto

    My TR3650 has bad syncros for 3rd gear. I need to replace tranny or rebuild it. A rebuild kit costs about $1,000. But no guarantee that it will hold up. Swapping to a TKO will cost about $2,800 doing it myself. I drive about 2 hours a day in heavy traffic. A manual tranny is not really fun in...
