Need a little giddy up in your pony? Performance Automatic has the answer for owners of 2005 and up Mustangs. A remanufactured 5R55 automatic transmission is now available as a direct replacement for these late model vehicles. But not just rebuilt these transmissions feature high performance clutches and bands specifically designed for aggressive driving habits. Comfortable shifts around town but heavier throttle brings this transmission to its full potential. Redesigned pressure control circuits provide the best of both worlds. Dyno tested before leaving our facility these units are ready to go. An optional deep aluminum pan and filler tube is also available, a great addition that makes checking the fluid level easy.

Harvey -

The car ran AWESOME! 9.21 was my best in the heat of NC which is .10 quicker than it ran in the cool temps of April. That tranny is great! I love it! I bragged it up to everyone that I spoke to at the track this weekend. I highly recommended it to several racers that were contemplating transmission upgrades. I really like the low amp draw of your tranny brake as compared to my old tranny brake. The gear ratio of this tranny is noticebly better than my old one also. I felt the shift points were very positive and had not one moment of hesitation or slip! I cannot say enough about how happy I am to have a PA tranny in my car and PA decals in the windows! You truly have the best unit out there!

I will send some video for you later!

Thanks again Harvey for one awesome piece of equipment!

Saturday’s 11th annual CJ Pony Parts Customer Appreciation Day was a huge success! We had 446 total cars in attendance and raised $25,000 for The Four Diamonds Fund, shattering last year’s mark of $19,200. We have pictures and a recap posted on our blog here. Attached is a picture of the check presentation to The Four Diamonds Fund from the end of the day that I think sums up the event really well.



Thank you to everyone that helped make the day a success. I have so many companies and people to thank that I won’t try to name them all in this email and will just summarize…



Thank you to all of the vendors that donated parts, raffle items or came out to display. I received many compliments from customer’s about the vendors we had in the showroom and the great items we had at the prize wheel. Big thanks to Flowmaster for coming out and for helping to cover the food costs, Scott Drake for donating a bunch of great items including a supercharger kit and Performance Automatic for sending a C4 transmission!



Thank you to DJ’s Smoke Shack for serving up some delicious pork bbq and for donating half your proceeds to The Four Diamonds Fund.



All of the volunteers that donated their time to help make the day run smoothly. Special shout out to the 20+ kids from The Four Diamonds that helped with everything from goodie bag stuffing to parking!



All of our employees for working a long week and being so willing to go above and beyond your daily job duties.



Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Performance Automatic is proud to announce its New Deep Aluminum 6R80 Transmission Pan for 2008-11 Ford Trucks and SUVs. The rugged, yet good looking, cast aluminum construction not only adds strength and structural integrity to the trans but helps dissipate heat and keeps the fluid cooler due to the extra 3 quart capacity. The pan also comes with a drain, so normal servicing becomes easy. The extra fluid this pan accommodates also allows the torque converter to lock up better with some added horsepower or when towing and help the transmissions efficiency when the pressures are turned up. So whether your vehicle is used as a daily driver or for towing the Performance Automatic 6R80 Deep Aluminum Pan will help extend the life of your transmission. The PA68403 is a direct replacement and is easy to install with simple hand tools.
