Fellows: Would like to get recommendations about 2 things:
1) What are ALL the recommended modifications to the 5R55E transmission to "improve" its reliability? Our '02 S/T has a bit over 230k on it and has given us no problems (bought new). Knock on wood. I'm "planning ahead" for the day when this transmission does/may give us problems and will need rebuilding.
2) With the modifications above in mind who are the recommended vendors that do/can do these mods if I decide to exchange rather then rebuild our transmission? I realize that I can shop around locally but I'ld like know if there are national rebuilders that are well known for the product they turn out. The $$$ is not as much a factor as is getting a rebuild that should give me years of reliable service.
