90 shelby daytona
Ok i am new to this site and daytonas. I got a 1990 daytona shelby 2.2 TII automatic for free. The tranny is not working on the car. I was just wondering what tranny is in this car and a ballpark on a cost to replace it at a local tranny shop. These cars seem pretty sweet and i cannot wait to get my hands on it. Thanks for your time.

That's odd, the 2.2L Turbo II's only came with a manual transmission, the automatics were too weak. Not only that, but the previous manual transmissions (Turbo I's A-525) were too weak, so they had to build a stronger one to handle the Turbo II's added power, this was the A-555 Getrag manual transaxle.

RE: 90 shelby daytona
Yea the daytona is a 1990 2.5t not the TII . My mistake. It has the a413 tranny which isnt the greatest. I did get the car for free so i cannot complain. I do however plan on pushing this enging to around 220 - 240 hp. Do you think the auto can hold this power? I want to convert to manual but it would be way too much work. I wanna get this tranny done in about a week and im in college so a manual is kinda out of the question. I hope the tranny will hold up. Hey does anyone know if the performance computers for the 2.2 works for the 2.5's? A lot of parts seem to be interchangeable between the two. I also plan on intercooling this engine. Any suggestions on cheap ic's that fit my application? Thanks for the help.

RE: 90 shelby daytona
Getting another hundred horsepower isn't easy, but it also isn't rocket science either. I don't know of the PCM's being swapable between the 2.2L and the 2.5L. There are intercooler kits made for the non intercooled turbos, so that is good news. Here is a link to another thread in which I have left a few great links to other sites that have the info and parts to do exactly what your looking to do: https://dodgeforum.com/m_183635/tm.htm One of the sites gives you specific recipes for certain power levels up to and beyond 500 horsepower.
