Transmission improvement question
Ok so my friend just paid $2000 to rebuild his transmission, happened a week after he bought it, he's not a very good shopper
. Anyway, this got to thinking more about my transmission. Is there any way to improve the condition of my transmission other that like not banging the gears and like installing a tranny fan, I'm not gonna be driving at speeds to make the oil go too hot anyway. Oh and I do perform regular maintenance like oil checks and flushes and all that regularly.Oh and I already have a shortshifter in it, I was just wondering if there was anything else I can do.

If you are talking about the t5 in your profile, then no. There was one place (can't remember the name) that would beef it up, but for less money, a t56 from an early style 4th gen would be cheaper and stronger.
