Update-

Haven't been driving the car for a few weeks now, and dropped it at my friend's shop last Sunday. Tried replacing several sensors and looks like the trans needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

Here's my dilemma. I've always wanted a 5 speed, and now would be the perfect time. Buuut, I was thinking. The trans for the 4.0 is the T-5, which isn't very strong. In the future I want to do something in terms of a V8/turbo/supercharger so the T-5 isn't a good idea. Plus it's not a great trans to begin with, noisy, weak etc.

Then there's the Tremec 3650 from the GT's which would be perfect, but I was running some of the prices in my head and determined it was out of the question. I'd need an adapter which is $700, clutch, shifter, 3650 trans, driveshaft, pedal assembly, flywheel, pressure plate etc etc. Too much money and work right now. Basically I don't want it bad enough to spend a ton of extra money on it

So... after talking to the dude at the shop, looks like I'm gonna have the auto 5R55S trans rebuilt. However, this time it's going to be stronger and can handle more power/tq

On the bright side, they're gonna install the 8.8 rear also and I should have the car back Wednesday. Fingers crossed all goes well
