They are made in Mexico.

 

Will this tranny mate up to the 4.6 without much hastle? My car has minor tranny problems (grinds between 1-2 on redline shifts) and I'm not a fan of the 2011. I plan to have a local motor builder build me a 5.0 in a couple of years once the aftermarket comes around for the new motor.

 

I wouldn't bet on it being an "easy bolt-on." If your motor guy is good, and you can get your hands on one at the same time as he's building you a 5.0, its maybe possible.

 

My concern is with its strength. The 5.0 article said it was rated at 375tq, which must be a typo since the Coyote is rated at 390tq. -- right?

 

Transmission torque ratings are nebulous at best since you need to have an idea of what sort of vehicle weight and traction they had in mind when rating that transmission.

 

Synchros will be beefed up...as said earlier in the thread.

 

What about the PCM? Doubt it would work with the 6? I'm probably overthinking it.
