my tranny quit on me. its a 2002 f150 5.4 and im pretty sure its the 4r70w. i think its just a seal, but i wanna build it up stronger since its out now. has anybody done this yet? what companies do you guys recommend for parts. is there a kit the covers all upgrades that should be done to this trans? or does anybody know of a good reputable company that builds "bulletproof" trannys for these trucks? i plan on doin some towing and offroading and just want something that isnt going to fail on me again, well, not easily anyways. thank you

best 4r70w guy there is his name is Darrin Burch many people have had 4r70ws built by him and none of them ever complain. and that gets a thumbs up in my book.

 

thank you, ill email them right now and see what i can find out.

 

I'll probably take it by a local shop today for recomendations. Are any things to watch out for, I'm a green horn when it comes to transmissions?

 

My old roommate from college lives in Indy, and races a Mustang with a 4R70W. He was telling me about Darrin, and from what I was hearing, he'll be the only dude that touches my tranny. My buddy had a tail housing bearing go out on his(which is a common problem with them at higher trap speeds), and Darrin dropped off a new modified(force oiled) tail housing on a Sunday on his Harley.. That's pretty amazing customer service right there.

 

I only wish I could afford a Harley. LOL

It was actually a 1995 Honda Shadow 1100 ACE that my wife and I showed up at Luke's place on.
