I was wondering what exact transmission my 03 auto mustang has because i am looking to get a shift kit. Is it worth getting one . Which would be the best. Also i am looking too get spark plug wires. I know there wont be a hp gain but are they worth it

 

[STEVE]

you have a 4r70w i believe, do the jerry mod if you want a shift kit.

That Jerry mod might be fine and dandy, but B&M and Transgo, and Superior, and these other companies that make shift kits know their stuff pretty darn good really they do. I have a B&M kit in my 99GT, works real good, the transmission man who installed it swears by them too.

i have an 01 with a trans-go with 20k miles since the kit was installed...no problems here

 

[SpectorV]

just heard issues... just be leary with what ever kit you get and do some research on the fourms for problems.

in the shop we have had about 5 trannys come in because of those electronic shift kits, it causes bad slippage

[232stang01]

like 100 bucks, but you acn do it your self if your the least bit mechanically inclined, just take off the oil pan, drain the fluid, take off the filter, then remove the valve body, then separate the two valve body pieces, you might have to drill a hole in the separator plate and replace some springs, then put every thing back on.

 

[232stang01]

heh, for something like my trans, I'd rather have someone else to blame it on if something fvcks up... just as a CYA manuver...
