Default 2007 Mustang GT auto Transmission

How reliable is the Auto trans in the GT's ??? do they last a long time or do they have any major flaws? if I stomp on the gas once in a while will that affect its life?....just wanna know for future reference

the tranny in the 07 is great IMO im pushing well over 500 at the wheels and mine is still kicking... they can handle up to 470rwhp (and that with u dogging it) ford finally made a great tranny and luckily for us it was in the s197

well so far i've been flooring it a lot.. and with the tune it shifts a lot harder than stock so it would wear it out a lot faster.. so far no trouble.. but i also only have 4,000 miles on the car..

The firmer shift points are actually better for the trans since it reduces friction caused the soft shift points on a stock tune.

The 3rd gear band seems to be the weak point, also the tq. convertor. I burnt my 3rd gear band up after 2k miles with 455 rwhp. Quite a few others have also. After getting it replaced it has been fine now for about 8k but I haven't beat on it quite as hard as before. I also added aPA deep dish pan from Brenspeed so I can keep an eye on the fluid level. I have read on the forums how many people have more tq. and rwhp then me race all the time and the trans is fine, I would like to know there secret.

here is some interesting info I found on the tranny while looking up shift kits for the car-

unfortunantly the only shift kits I found were re-worked valve bodies over at level 10,not
sure but I think it's their hydrosytem valve bodies, it's like $750 bucks for a new system.
Would be nice to have but more of icing on the cake for now lol
