So the 5R55S is not all that back as far as automatics go. However, mine is starting to make some worrisome noises, and actions that are prompting me to be proactive in transmission replacement, instead of reactive at the worst moment. So last week I was in Ft Myers FL, and I rented a 2017 V6 with an automatic. The engine, sorry to say, even with 300 hp, it wasn't much. The 6R80 automatic however, that was quite an interesting and sporty trans. I haven't really heard anything about being able to adapt the 6R80 to the earlier S197's, and I really haven't heard anything about it being put in a 4.0.
So with all of that being said; has anyone heard of anyone who has successfully mated a 6R80, to a 4.0 S197? If no one has heard of anyone doing it, how about an right up's on th3 possibly of it working?
