I have a 94 Mustang Gt Conv with AODE trans. I decided to stay with auto when completely redoing car check my garage. I have a performance automatic transmition direct from them installed with TCI 3000 stall Converter. I would think ok since trans is rated 450-500HP. Well I had first trans in maybe 1500 miles moderate driving with at time 215 RWHP and TCI Saturday Night special 2000 stall blew to pieces they said bearing broke whatever. So PA says not our fault since it was Torque converter but transmition was shifting weird horrible inconsistent going neutral sometimes before that. So I pay them $595 to "freshen up Trans'" clutches etc. Car is on road with new Builet TCI $1087 Torque converter 3000 stall and now have maybe 375RWHP with Aluminum Heads and Supercharger. I drive the car 300 miles before track made 3 passes on street tires and drive it another 200 miles and trans is gone. This time I order PA Beefed up Clutches and High Horsepower rebuild kit $795 have Ford Dealership Mustang specialist build it and replace all broken parts and gears and this time no track and 300 miles trans is gone again using street tires and 4 days of driving with maybe 6 nice burn outs and punched motor 15-20 times and gone. I am so pissed I could kill somebody. I have not heard anyone mention using Performance Automatic Transmitions in here and I am wondering if I missed something. Brothers Racing and numerous Magazines and of course Summit Racing said "real good reliable transmitions". Either I am the recipient of an unusual lemon or I need to look at buying another trans from someone else I cannot ever go through this again or I may kill someone. I have 30K plus invested in this mustang and I have really enjoyed it all of 5 days in over 1 year. Please someone give me some good advice or tell me what to have done to this trans and make it reliable upto 500 HP.
I am sending it back to PA hopefully Friday and hopefully they will not pull the we didn't build it last time even though they boast lifetime warranty, and they will rebuild it and send it back right but if they try to charge me 5-700 to fix it for the 3rd time I am going with something else.
Any help or similar experiences would be welcome
