Performance Transmission
Anyone have any ideas on how to build a performance automatic tranny for a 2006 STX with the 5R55E transmission. I did a google and found a few places that sell kits and such but i am an idiot when it comes to this stuff...
I have a half-ton lead foot and want to have a beefy transmission able to handle it...

OK i have done extensive research and am getting conflicting information about what transmission I have... I am thinking i have a 5r55e according to the rangerstation diagram and on transtar.com it says i should have the 5r44e. Any help from the ranger community over here would be appreciated....

Third down in that table.
I want to say an ex-member here used that with good results.

Keep in mind shifts kits do not come with gaskets. You will need a pan, filter, upper and lower separator plate gaskets. Also pending year and mileage you want to get a new EPC solenoid.
I got my stuff from bulkpart.com. It one stop shopping for all the parts you need. minues the fluid.
For the fluid you will need about 8 quarts to refill your trans.

Yeah I have read all the how to's on explorerforums and also on fordtruck.com... Just want to ensure the money i spend is well worth it and the transmission will last the abuse i throw at it. I am building the truck up for better horsepower when needed and a great daily driver that will alst me a while... plan on having this truck for a long time...ie 10 years or more...
