My 130k mile 00 V8 AC appears to be suffering from planetary gear problems - slipping/flared shifts and slamming in to gear.
Two part question, from the position of A) I'm doing the work myself and B) I probably can't afford a performance rebuild.
1) Is it as easy as it looks to remove/reinstall the trans? I looked briefly, it looks not so hard. Any gotchas?
2) What should I replace it with? Would other 4.7 4sp from newer years connect mechanically/electrically? The 03/04 are reported to have better Planetary gears based on my reading.
Thanks for your advice,
Scott
