Automatics

I'm considering converting my Gt 500 to an automatic. I use the car for street and track. What kind of autos are being used and which would be best for street and track use.

I have a FB Performance auto in my 04 Cobra and love it so far. O/D and lockup work at the touch of a button. They're like talking to old friends on the phone which says a lot about their business.

edit: I know they've done some GT500's with good results.

FB Performance - PRO STREET/STRIP 4STB-E (4R70W/AODE) - W/EOD & L/U (FORD MOD MTR)

my 4r100 will be getting installed next week at JDM. Small 24-2600 stall, BTS built, overdrive that will hold 1000+hp

How much is that setting you back?

4L80 GM 4 speed overdrive auto with a stall converter and trans brake from TCI or similar company is what I would do.

probly have 10k in it by the time its done, but tranny is warrantied even with me racing and i know the install will be clean as factory. The car will hopefully be done and at the Bradenton NMRA for its debut if any of you guys will be there

Do you have a link form them?

 

[Coonsnake]

this will be the first time for them to do the swap in a gt500. You can google Brians Truck Shop and find a ton of stuff about his trannys. But you can go to TeamJDM.com and get in touch with Jim Sr. about this install

I'm using lentech as he seems to be one of the best builders out there. My 2010 gt500 is getting a 4w70 as we speek. From what I've read a 4w70 is as strong or strong built than a 4l80.

Like to here how they are on the highway and see how long they last on the track

using a 4r70w with electronic vb and OD, car uses stock auto shifter from my v6 platform so the PRND21 does not line up with new tranny which is minor you just count the clicks,

swap was done bye Powerhouse up in PA theve done them for plenty of 3v's and atleast two gt500 already

Can you get a trans brake with that trans?

I know mine will last, but I only went with a 3 spd. If I get to sick of the 3 spd, I can always get a GV unit.

We use the Rossler 400 in most of our customers swaps, it is a 3 speed but a low reae gear ratio can be used with it to keep the rpm's down for street driving - very nice- unbreakable!
