Transmission Swap

Transmission Swap
I have an 04 SL with the RE4F04B transmission and I'm about to have to change it. I found a super low mileage RE5F22A...My question is...can I swap the 5 speed in, in place of the 4 speed. Before you ask, I've done all the troubleshooting...my transmission is done, it's dead. I just need to know if it'll work. Plus I really want a 5 speed A/T

The 5speed has it's own issues. If you can fix them before install you should be good. You will need more than just the transmission though. I would consult a professional on this one. I would be guessing with any advice on my part. Good luck and be sure to post if you do with parts and experiences.

The tranny started slipping out of first into second, from 2-3, 3-4 it was fine but from 4-3, 3-2, 2-1 it had a bad lag. Started throwing P0780 codes and finally it stopped going from 2-3 and it barley goes from 1-2. The fluid is burnt with clutch shavings in it. I'm assuming it's the valve body but it has 181k on it. I'm planning a huge build on it. I'm boring out the motor to a 3.8 and replacing every moving part on the car.

I would have to agree. I think sticking with the 4 speed would be the best way to go. Get a shift kit and call it a day. I don't hardly even use my 5th gear. I drive mine in Tiptronic mode all the time and sometimes will go to 5th on the highway.http://ujue5.xspw3.servertrust.com/L...800-9000p.html probably the best you will find out there.
