Mate.I had my s5 solenoid replaced today.My car drove nice under light to medium throttle but under full throttle it would rev right out and explode into the next gear. Everyone else told me to get a new box..I am lucky I know of the honest blokes from the transmission centre in Fairfield on Hamilton street.It cost me 400 with a transmission flush.
Get a few opinions is my advice.

The auto boxes cannot be strengthened much more than kevlar bands and better clutches. The drums still explode just the same and the solenoids die just the same. the au box was originally from the mazzeratis so I do believe they can handle alot more power than people think.Its more the jarring and burnouts which destroy gearboxes despite popular forum belief.
