[QUOTE="mikepotts, post: 280411, member: 2254"] i have studied and used every ford automatic produced, from the FMX to the A4LD... and i have to disagree with the above opinion of the AOD, during the mid 80's early 90's people hated the AOD, because they didnt understand them, Lentech was the first shop to take the time to understand the AOD and work to dispell the myth's... like the AOD is weak, its actually a strong trans, yes, misadjusted TV settings can fry one quickly, but there are solutions for this without having a MVB, silverfox performance transmissions offers valve bodies that are constant pressure, they still use the TV for kickdown features but when the TV is disconnected it will hold any gear to any RPM (if desired). plus like i mentioned, if a person wanted to build one to the ultimate... all it takes is an AOD case and a 4R donor, with the 4R internals in the AOD case a one piece input shaft and stock rebuild clutch set / carbon bands, and a quality VB like mentioned basically it will last forever and have a better crawl ratio than the c4 (2.46) since the wide ratio gearset has 2.84. [url=http://classicbroncos.com/tech/c4-3-speed-automatic-transmission-guide]http://classicbroncos.com/tech/c4-3-speed-automatic-transmission-guide[/url] is it cheaper than a c4? no. is it strong and will it last ? yes, there are rebuilders that make adapters for the AOD to work behind chevy motors and people are using them to replace the chevy holy grail TH400!
