2011 gt500 convert to autotranny
 

is this possible?

It's probably possible. But WHY?!

i love auto trans! :)

It's definitely possible. However that doesn't mean it'll be cheap, easy, or something you'd want to live with on a daily basis. But then that could be false too.

No.

There's a reason the car wasn't offered with one.

It is absolutely possible but it would probably cost in the $5K-$5.5K range.

Is that worth it to you?

Of course once you have done the conversion you could sell the leftover 6 speed parts and get a big chunk of the money back.

to me thats totally worth it more than trying to get a auto. GT up to spec with a GT500. Also, i'll have a rare auto. tranny GT500 with aggressive rear gears

who and where can do this work?

thanks for the info!!! :)

Depends on where you are.

Any good Mustang tuner specialty shop should be able to do it.

Now, my estimates on those costs would be if you were doing most of the work yourself, would most likely cost more for a shop to do it all.

And it would probably make a GT500 worth less to most people.

would it simply be a bolt on transplant of an auto. tranny from a GT?
is there any complex ECU work or electronics?

it would be worth less to MOST..but there would be that small select group who would pay more for it i think...not much more..but a few bucks more...

anyways..resales is not my concern..i want to ENJOY :)

Not difficult at all.

I have a guy that builds the OD trannys(4R75W) for all our high HP cars. There are a couple tranny controllers on the market that work fine for this application...........even have paddle shift!. Much above stock HP on the 2011 Shelby, you may want to go with a fully manual automatic.
Programming would be a breeze and prolly the only other custom items would be a drive shaft for sure and maybe a tranny mount.

Doubt it would just bolt up. Would also require a custom tune for shift points as well.

WHy wouldn't it bolt up?

Even the 2011 GT still has the same bolt pattern.

The strategy in the Shelby computer doesn't allow for auto tranny tuning.

thanks guys.
this would be an interesting project!

You should see what we have coming up soon..........2007 Roush Nitemare truck with a Built DOHC 5.4 Shelby GT500, topped by a 4.0 Whipple, backed by a built 4R70W and ran by FAST XFI and FAST XIM with LS1 COPS.:banana:

will a GT handle better than the GT500 cause the reduced nose weight much like how the V6 handles better than the GT?

It will handle different than the Shelby. With the new block of the SHelby, it handles better than the 2010. And naturally there are things you can do with the HP difference.:grin:

+1

Very rare work

Anything is possible but your better off trading for one that is already

Trading for one that is already?

There isn't one already, no GT500 comes with an automatic.

:nice:
