BUT! if you are going to seriously abuse it or have no mechanical common sense then go 3 speed, with over 30 years of R&D & billet everything of the shelf a safe option for some ppl. mustang shaft how does this work? just throw it in? modification? 3 speed you mean th400?

Yeah bout 60 70 ks put your foot in to it and and drops down a gear that is kick down . The mustang shaft wich is the 6r80 transmission wich the new rangers have you need pump some different bearings and bush that supports intermediate shaft into the back of the 6r80 input needs to be made and torque converter modified and a few other things im probably missing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message Jet is trying to get across is that you should not be doing the automatic equivalent of a clutch dump. If you're partially loaded in third and then floor it to kick back into second at 70kph then that is the equivalent of a clutch dump. Joe meant that there is a difference between driving a car hard with sympathy and deliberately trying to break a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also the cheapest going in Perth I've found, I've called heaps of transmission shops etc, no where comes close. Most are 5-6K for a rebuild to stock spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I got a legit question for @JETURBO that isn't stupid, when you dyno these things what do you do, regarding the kickdown switch that is? Do you mash it to the kickdown switch in 4th then when the roadspeed is above 90 go past it? @Box stock T. I think im more suited to a manual with a good clutch...
