bump?

Here are all the parts to replace all the wear parts in the transmission:
1. Motorcraft part# MTKV-K4600-B - this kit includes all new pistoms, o-rings, gaskets, even the frictions and the steels, everything but the 2-4 band; or MTK-46900-B (cheaper, but not sure if that kit has the bonded pistons). You will not use the frictions and steels from the master kit if you are also buying the upgraded Alto clutches.
Now for the frictions and steels, I sugest:
2. Alto part# 133750AHPPWR - this includes all Red Eagle frictions and Kolene steels and also includes the direct clutch Powerpack upgrade
3. Alto part# 133960 - this is an upgrade Red Eagle band that is not included in the other kits. Alto also offers these bands in "heavy duty wide- Red" and "heavy duty wide- kevlar" (part#s 133961, 133961K)

Here is the cost breakdown:
Motorcraft master rebuid kit $175
Alto part# 133750AHPPWR $175
Alto part# 133960 ~$20
Total cost $370

This trans wont work http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/pric...lete_Automatic Something is messed up there, our trans is FN4AEL mazda or 4F27E ford. Call them and see if they do have a trans that fits.
I also think that the transmission case for the 4f27 might be a little different from the mazda but all internal parts are the same. Sorry Ive been busy with my turbo swap lately, hope to see 190-200hp by start of summer.

The lentech valvebody was $379 last time I checked, and the converter was $689
http://www.lentechautomatics.com/4f27eproducts.html# look here. they sell the street terminator for $1699 plus shipping and it has Lifetime warrenty so that might be a better route for non-diy.

And yes that will make trans stronger but a weak link is the stator inside the converter stock the're plastic the lentech has aluminum one.
so $370 plus $689 converter and good trans cooler should make for a good to 250hp+ trans

For those that have the Lentech valve body, how does it shift in normal everyday driving? How does it shift when you put your foot into the firewall?

And maybe it's just me, but I've always thought of an automatic transmission as a magical block box and are consequently hard for the DIYer to work on- how true is this? I also have a sport shift auto and am interested in beefing it up some. I've already installed a Hayden Transaver transmission cooler (see sig). While I doubt I'll ever be pushing big power numbers through this transmission, I do want to get into doing some track days with this car and I think some of these upgrades would help ensure the longivity of the transmission.

[Tom03es]

Depends on the year of the 3. If you have the 4 speed auto, lentech has a valvebody and built transmissions. Level10 has controllers, valvebodies, torque converters, rebuild kits, or built trannies. They aren't cheap but they can be built to handle some decent power.
