Hey guys. Ok so here is my question, what can you do to a 5r100 to make it stronger and lets say for under $400? I know on the 4r100 you can do a JW or BTS valve bodie to help the trans out but is there anything like that for the 5r100? Also this would be for the 6.4 first then the 6.0 so not sure if that makes a diffrence.
Thanks
Nick :ford:

No one?

Amsoil??

That's about all I can think of. But hell I don't know how an auto works really...

i think the direct solenoid is only like a 100 bucks and helps the shifts but other than that i dont think there is anything

Who makes the best one out there?

 

[powerstroke586]

pretty sure suncoast is the only one. thats the only parts i would use on mine. i know cobbs and aaron carry them. im doin a full suncoast trans here soon. oh you can put a billet intput shaft in it thats only like 250 haha

 

[weekendwarriorfsw32]

Cool I will look into that. So what is the weak link the 5r100?

i have heard the clutches and some people say its the converter. my overdrive slips when ive got it hammered. i would talk with aaron at rudy's or john cobbs they can give you a straight answer

Sweet thanks

Suncoast isn't the only one. And they are 150.

The valve body has no valves, except for the manual valve. All of the solenoids are direct acting on the clutches. If you want to beef it up. Get a good trans file for it. Or else you have to start adding extra clutches.

you possibly could go billet but thats $$$

Where can i get one for 150? When you say good trans file you mean in the tuning or do you mean somthing else?

 

[PSDPlayer]

The tuning. And PM me and I'll get you setup with the solenoid.

I got one of dougs solenoids and it really helped firm my 3-5 shift up it's worth the 150 bucks and it's a very easy install.

 

[spastik monkey]

i'm seeing valve bodies offered for the 5r100. so if it doesn't have a valve body, how can someone sell a valve body? is this like dehydrated water or muffler bearings?

 

[weekendwarriorfsw32]

Post up a link.

It gets installed in the blinker fluid reservoir.

And there is no such transmission as a 5R100. There is a 4R100 that does have a valve body, and a 5R110 that does not have a valve body.
