I want to change out the factory pan on my 2007 Mustang GT 5R55S (I think this is correct) Transmission.
I am looking at the Trick Flow TFS-1012-1 High Capacity Aluminum Pan.
I will be adding an AutoMeter/Ford Performance Transmission Temperature Sensor to the pan.
My logic is my capacity so prolong the life of the transmission and the aluminum should help with cooling a bit.
I have a couple question that I am hoping the brain-trust can help with.
Is this a good pan? Is there a better unit I should be looking at? I really could not find many replacement units that are still made.
What fluid would be best to run and how much should I buy?
Which one of the filling pumps is suggested, and what adapter do I need to get?
Trick Flow offers a dipstick kit(TFS-1012-2), has anyone installed this kit? I would like to have a transmission fluid dipstick, but I have an Edelbrock supercharger kit with the valve cover dress up kit, I am not sure if this will fit under or neat those cover. I know Lokar makes some flexible units but I dont know what length I should get.
I am not a transmission guy, I understand basic mechanics. I did install the SC kit on my own with no issues, but Automatic Transmission have always baffled me, so any help, experience and suggestions are truly welcome
