Transmission - Question for you Joe or other tech experts

[jdanielsg]

Hey guys i have a question. My transmission may need changing IF I can get hold of a 2006 5 speed Auto trans.. what else do I have to change to make it work?

What do you have now? If you don\'t have the same transmission in there now as this one, at the very least you will need a new computer.

I have the 05, so its the 4 speed, the new o6s they have the 5 speed option right? So i was thinking if i had to replace my transmission i\'d get the 5 speed if its not too expensive

ya..ok. A brand new Tranny.... Is a 5 speed auto worth the $4000-$5000??? Not gonna save that in gas!

its not about the gas LOL If i was so cheap as to be doing it for the gas i wouldnt be doing it in the first place.

So anyone else know? i need a new transmission, computer and what else? When someone says comp do they just mean the chip or the comp? And btw there r USED parts and if I was ot find one 06 used it be pretty cheap...IF there r.. well there r always people totalling cars from the behind :)

Whats wrong with the 4spd? 5spd, was an option, so I doubt you would need more than the new tranny and computer.

That and $1000 + for labor...and voiding the warranty....and um.... maybe can\'t sell your car at a hight price because you switched your tranny. Since it didn\'t come with it.
I rather you sell your car and get a new car with those $5000+ k

Trade it in for an 06/07 :D

I wouldn\'t do this unless the car was 10 years old. Waste of money. Just buy a new car if you want the 5-speed so much.

Anyone know where I can find a comparison of different AT Sportshift modes in various makes?

I know Road and Track had an article in their July 06 edition but I can\'t seem to find it anywhere!

Just want to read up a bit on what the differences are!

I'd rather trade-in my current car (w/4 speed auto) to a new, 2007 model with 5 speed auto. Instead, I'll use my supposed $5k budget for transmission swapping, as a downpayment for the new car. Less aggravation and running around talking to junk/wrecking yards for a used transmission. The waiting time might be endless and besides, you might not be assured if the used transmission will last as you were expecting.

Just my $ 0.50 after tax....
