SC300 Tranny Swap

Wondering how many horses the stock 4 speed automatic could handle? All the way up to a TT upgrade? If not, then is there an auto transmission I could swap in (maybe a 5-speed auto or something)?

The reason I ask is that I'm not a big fan of manual...I like to eat and use the cell phone (very carefully!) while I drive, but also like quick cars.

Thanks in advance!
Unashamed,
Tripp

Haha, I didn't mean eat AND use the cell phone while driving (like at the same time). I meant one or the other (or neither) at any given time.

Sorry for the confusion

Unashamed,
Tripp

The stock SC300 trans won't hold much at all for any extended period of time, but if you are doing a TT swap then it will come with the better TT trans which would hold BPU++++ power well for quite some time.
