5R55 N,S,E trans?
Posted: Sat Oct 12, 2013 1:27 pm
Working on a Frankenstein Volvo 122
with a Duratec 3.0L motor run by MSII
I have 2 OEM trans options
Getrag 221 manual
or
5R55N Auto
My lazy side wants the Auto but I am concerned about technical hurdles of successfully controlling the trans.
My first thought is naturally the GPIO
The 5R55 is robust as it is used behind V8 motors.
The Getrag 221 is not strong enough to use behind a V8. I might be OK with the lighter car, but it will be abused.
