I am doing a rebuild of my 4R55E, and also doing the upgrades from Superior Transmission. I have been reading Glacier991's thread 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary
I live in Norway, the temperature here in the winter could be about -10 degrees, and + 20 in the summer. Would it be recommended to perform Superior's upgrade for me ? I could risk that my transmission never would get warm, when all oil is going straight through the cooler.
The next MOD in the Superior series I have not done yet, and will save and let whoever wants to buy this VB decide if they want it or not. Ya see, FORD in the 5R55 has a thermostatic control that doesn't let the transmission oil cooler start doing it's job until the fluid has warmed up.
Interesting concept. Might be great in Fairbanks.... maybe unnecessary in Miami. Superior has a piece you add to defeat this. I am skipping it for now.
