It's a revamped trans with a more efficient cooling system. And even with that it's pretty much maxed out on the P*

I had a Valve body rebuild kit installed and it really mad a difference, as the flushing is just a band aid. I'm also in the process of trying to find a way to build the TF80 without going through Level 10, which has not had a lot of positive reviews. I have been on the phone with all of the above sources for the valve body. It seams there are really only three manufactures of the parts in the USA. Will update here when we find out how well it holds up with the new higher HP motor going in.

Would like to here if anyone has done any upgrades to this transmission, as most of the cars this transmission cam in are not most built, think Ford Fusion, and 500

Did you get that transgo kit installed? If I remember right it was only around $100ish. It take that over an iffy rebuilt

So you purchased two kits essentially? The AW and transgo? I'm just trying to plan for the worst and I've seen alot of so-so reviews from rebuilders

So, dealer charges 4.1 hrs for valve body swap, which means I can do it myself it 12, right?

Does anyone know what all is involved? I've done a valve body swap in a GM 4spd Auto from the 80's and it was more or less a drop in. Does the trans have to come off the car to do it? Possible to do this job on jack stands/ramps without a proper lift?

Some have done it themselves but I don't think there is a clear step by step write-up for it

I will have to say that if you have a GT car and run a K&N filter I would dump it. Best thing I have done to help drivability and improved shifting in everyday driving. I also recommend using Maxlife ATF as a good all around trans fluid during a pump and dump

So the MAXLIFE ATF is ok to use in our R's?

Yes
