i have a 2000 ls v6 manual. i want to put an auto tranny in, what work needs to be done and does anyone want to trade, the tranny has 10xxx miles on it
Auto tranny in the LS does suck big time (huge time) by the way.
Manual cars usually sell for a few bucks more than auto.
It just needs a good tune to wake it up. We are finding that the 5R55S, W, N transmissions are actually better than what most of us thought on its initial debut. With a proper tune and keeping the bands adjusted correctly we are putting some serious power through these and having last pretty well and also shift very crisp too.
This is interesting news, as up until now, it was thought that it was the hydraulics of the transmission that resulted in the somewhat delayed shifting with the LS transmission.
