Mt82 to 10r80 swap

[Robottrainer]

Was wondering if anyone has done a manual to 10 speed swap and if so what’s all needed to be done car is a 2019

May take: sure it can be done. Lots of little details to sort out for sure. Trans cooler, lines, torque converter, flex plate, driveshaft, maybe a PCM and TCM. The MT82 I had in a 2012 was terrible. Shifts were sticky. Not a smooth shifter. The Tremec in the 13 Shelby was another matter. It was awesome but I digress. The auto is both fantastic and nerve wracking all at the same time. You rarely get the same shift quality. It's like ot can't decide. Probably due to the adaptive learning. And then there are the known issues. Valve body. CDF drum, converter, oil pump, sub par friction, thermal settings. If you are going to do that I would upgrade the unit before installing it.

I take it you haven’t had a mt82 car they’re dog shit cold warm hot doesn’t matter clunky as hell and hit or miss when trying to get a built one

mt82 is the easiest manual on earth to drive. Strongest no, but shifts smooth and easy everytime. 650-700whp (g3 120mm 93 tune never dynod so don't know exact) and no issues and stock clutch as well. I think alot of ppl just can't drive honestly. I've owned manuals for the last 20yrs, only auto I've ever owned was my sho.

Yes, to my knowledge MT82s are not clunky like the 10r80 is when its cold.

hardly. Civic and GTI are FAR more forgiving. MT82 isn't bad, mind, not remotely as touchy as the Camaro (non-ZL1) was.

I agree. Never had a problem. Clean crisp shifts IMO.
Want harsh ? Try the Muncie M22 rock crusher.

Ha Ha,, I like the M22 and the A833 MUCH better.

Ever drive a MT82 car ?

Ever drive a MT82 car ?

Yep. Still I like the mentioned transmissions with a competition plus shifter adjusted correctly.

Parts farm will sell you the entire kit for 5k shipped.

Dust cover
Driveshaft
Flexplate
Starter
Ecu/Tcm
A10 Trans w/ converter (I recommend to upgrade to circle d)
Trans cooler with lines
Center console
Shifter
Shifter Cable
Brake master cylinder / reservoir and brake booster
ABS module
All required bolts
Keys (no remote start included but can be added)

Once you get through the install (should take someone skilled around 6 hours give or take) then you need Ford IDS to program the car as an automatic which takes roughly an hour to reprogram all of the computers, and if your tuned you need to re-tune as an automatic, would advise no driving if your boosted without contacting your tuner to send you a new tune log. If you have access to IDS and knowledge to do the labor this job isn't hard at all and depending on your tuner it will cost you roughly 6500-7000 if you do this on your own (price is including a re-tune assuming your boosted or factory tuned)

Take all of this into consideration before doing this install (I did this because I'm built motor and didn't want to spend anymore money having another motor built, I'm far past the 6000-7000$ mark there so it was much cheaper to a10 swap then it was to do everything over again) trading the vehicle in for an A10 might be the cheaper route to take, but if you love your car like I do mine then it's only money at the end of the day.

Turning a Manual car into an automatic? What sort of sacrilege is this?

That's like turning a Unicorn into a Donkey. An Eagle into a Pigeon, Gold into Lead.

OP, man card revoked. Your next car should be a Prius

Thank you for this. I have a 19 GT Premium PP2 Car that has a brand new Engine, G3X, Fuel System, ETC, and I’m going A10. I’m not spending $15K plus the car swap to get an A10 where I can spend pennies on the dollar to get where I want to be.
Assuming you did this to your car? Can you share some more info? Harness stuff, built trans?

Yes, cars with low HP and torque shift more smoothly than those that need a transmission that can hold up to a V8. But the MT82 is very smooth for a gear box that can handle well over 500 hp.

ALL "Sports Cars" should have a manual transmission to get the TOTAL DRIVING EXPERIENCE of a "SPORTS CAR"!!
