This is total speculation. A 6r80 MIGHT out 60' it, but that's it. What's trans does the fastest 2011+ have in it? It's on the home page if you wanna check.
If the th400 has a Trans brake it will just sayin
The turbo 400 is a bad ass transmission :beer:
Gloves are OFF!!! :lol:

Interesting.
Would love to see photos of the internals of the MT-82 when you get it apart, if its not too much of a hassle.

It's a footbrake car for now. I made the valve body a FMVB. I talked him into doing it like this for now and then maybe stepping up later if he wants to 60' and ET better
Ok so this car is gonna be mostly a track car, and minimal street action? If so how do 2 speed power glides do on these cars cause i see alot of strip cars using them all the time?
Oh that's why we're taking it apart. You shoulda heard this thing when were were moving around last night! Sounds like an aluminum can with a bunch of bearings inside!
I wouldn't put a stock case glide in his car. TH400 stock cases are way stronger. And glides are NOT cheap to build like a 400 is. The problem with a glide (for this app) would be that he'd have to put a shorter gear in the back to compensate for the 1.76-1.80 1st gear. Then he wouldn't have enough top end to keep from hitting the limitter. Not unless he had a neil chance converter with like 3% slip. LOL. Price one of those out. AHHA!

Dont worry, I hear it everytime I drive my car, lol.
yours broken too? LOL!
It is! Some of the quickest S197 cars use the TH400.................
My thoughts exactly. It's actually my friends car, we just help each-other a lot with our cars. And not one person here has offered to pay his car note. LOL. All I wanted to know was how to take apart the trans, not get counseled by some internet dads about how it needs to stay all ford, or that these TH400s are HP robbers!
If anyone was wondering, we initially tried to do the 6R80 route but that just got super expensive really fast. That one thread that some people hang their hats on about a 6R80 swap for something like $2400 and then acting like that can be replicated all damn day. GTFO. LOL. Deals exist, and if we wanted to wait 1-2 years for stuff to pop up for sale then yea, we could have done that.
No shorter of opinions on the internet :lol1:
Lol term of the day "internet dads" lol... I think this thread got derailed because we didn't understand the value of this tranny for a street driven daily driver. most of us here are street driven daily drivers. Once we learned its going to be raced frequently we now understand the value of th-400 with a trans brake! The weight thing came in because I had a th-350 in my old nova and i changed it over to th-400 and i remember how heavy it was to put in with just a floor jack and jackstands.

internet cheers! I'll post pics when we get it apart.
You need to use a big 2 jaw puller to separate the case halves
Why not, I've been 4.90's with a stock case glide, multiple times, in fact that trans is still alive and kicking behind another 4.80-4.90 car. I do like the 400 better though, lot of options on gear sets and very strong.
What is the car weight on those?
