What are the best mods for an auto tranny to get it feeling right?

Beau · Feb 8, 2004

replace the auto with a 5 speed.

Frazier · Feb 8, 2004

Well that doens't exactly answer the question does it!

Beau · Feb 8, 2004

get 4.1 gears.

I've got a B&M electronic shift kit and I really like it. A flip of a switch and your shifts will be quicker.

Get a high stall converter, some type of shift kit/valve body - or try the Jerry Mod Shift kit its free, a tranny cooler and some low gears. With that youll be showing those 5spds whos boss

I have a PA manual valve body, PI 4200 stall converter, B&M Hammer shifter, and tranny cooler. It makes for a great combination.

Right on. Do that and you will fear no 5 spd. Go for 3000-3200 stall. I recommend a Performance Automatic street/strip valve body. Oh, you will need a custom chip to make the converter/valve body combo work well. And don't forget the gears. 3.73s, 3.90s, or 4.10s. 4.10s are probably the best bet, though.

Performance Automatic
PI converters
AODE/4R70W information
B&M Hammer Shifter
B&M Trans Coolers

Theres a couple to look at

Unless you are going to use the car as a pure race vehicle, I would not get a PA valve body. The one in your car will do just fine if tweaked for best performance. Besides, the PA won't have adjustable line pressure and will create a lot of unneeded stress for the street.

I'd stick with 4.10 gears, a PI stallion 3200rpm stall converter, J-modding your valve body, and definenelty adding an auxillary cooler.

Also, might want to consider adding synthetic fluid.

Bump

BTW- how many miles does it have on it? If it needs to be rebuilt you could add some more things in there.

Whatever you do, don't get a B&M shift kit. Read over at www.tccoa.com and check tech/transmissions and read the articles by Jerry W. He'll explain why.

One thing to consider is your mods and what you want to do before you buy a stall convertor.

Performance Automatic doesn't have 4R70W valve bodies... do you use the aode?

And the street/strip valve body, how does it work? Anyone know? Thanks

jimfitzgerald · Feb 8, 2004

Yes they do. I bought one last year. I just bought another one in my new PA SuperComp 4R70W tranny.

You do know that the electronic kit does nothing to enhance perfomance at WOT right?
