Is the car modified, does it shift ok or is it flaring? The BTR transmission fitted to the BA is not a strong box and is really at it's maximum capability even with mild mods. If it is toaste then a rebuilt auto with a good trans cooler would be fine.Benny.

I think the job of converting to a 6 speed would be a lot more work than if you just got a built 4 speed. If you do get the box rebuilt then take it to someone reputable and they will make it plenty strong enough. Cost can vary with what you want done to the box, standard rebuild will start from $1800 and up to 3.5k with the works, high stall and cooler etc. A quick search in the search field for "auto rebuild" will give you plenty of threads on the old BTR. Example below.Regards,Benny. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75102-auto-transmisson/#findComment-1110296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
