5R55S - Input Shaft Failure = Trans Replacement?

[rayS197]

So far the TCI parts have been handling the abuse I have put them thru. During some tuning sessions we saw the torque curve around 3k rpms to 3800 rpms hit around 550 tq to 580 tq. Seems to be holding with high 1.4 60's. I know that will be the next weak link though.

I have had the PA pan for about 4 years and it has been fault free, excellent upgrade.

The PA pan is excellent, provides for a locking style dip stick..and opening is big enough to easily add ATF. The PA pan is 2.1" deeper than oem, and triple the oem weight, + holds and extra 4 qts. Where it bolts on, the flange is a whopping .6" thick. The PA pan has a drain plug on the bottom of it, so changing ATF is a snap vs oem fubar.

I also installed the JDM 5r55s catch can. Then no more puking ATF. Also added a 2nd auto tranny rad in series with the oem rad. I used a B+M, and installed it below the oem auto tranny rad. The B+M is a bar + plate type...vs tube + fin, 3/4" thick. It works on viscosity. The hotter the ATF gets, the more of the B+M rad being used. Works superb. B4 the ATF temps would rise from 170-200F, with blower on...on the hwy, in <10 secs.
No more. ATF temps are now regulated very good. I had the oem ford ATF fluid sucked out, above mods added, then new RP ATF put in. So far, so good. Good enough for a street car at least.
