Default SUPER CHARGER VS TRANSMISSIONS 2007-2011 3.8 auto
When you who've done this is the power too much for the stock auto transmission? Have any of you had trans failures as result of installing a super charger?

Like anything, if you abuse it, it will break. If you treat it right, you should have no issue. Trans cooler and good fluid is a must.

Making sure your rig is properly geared for the tire size you are running is the most important thing you can do to keep your 3.8 4 speed auto together. A trans cooler would just add that much more security in those high load situations!
