[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3995318, member: 27098"] Used to be GM produced transmissions that all others were judged by. Everyone was trying to put a Turbo 400 behind their Ford or Mopar to get the power to the ground without failure Yes, Ford and Chrysler had some good auto trans. but the TH 400 was used quite a bit at the dragstrip. In the Late 90's Lincoln wanted to use GM's 4 speed transaxle on the 4.6 DOHC Continental, but GM couldn't produce more for Lincoln. As a result the DOHC 4.6 went from 320 HP to 256 HP since Ford's transaxle couldn't handle the torque. When GM produced a 10 Speed Automatic in a joint venture with Ford, ford started using it in all their RWD vehicles. Biggest complaints I have heard on the 10 speed, always hunting for a gear... Very sad... [/QUOTE]
