    Drivetrain AOD Transmission rebuild questions

    see the above posts about the od band. total project size depends on your existing internals (either 90 or 91 was the transition year from the weaker cast steel drums to the better stamped ones). if you have the early stuff, theres more to change to be able to run the wider band, and less to...

    Details on that trans cooler? Or did you already post about it and I need to search? Need to eventually do something similar and would love to see how yours is mounted. Assuming that is a trans cooler anyway, also can't remember if you're a2w or not....

    So glad I'm not the only one (seems to be not so much the trans as the pos clutch that won't release at the factory 7k red line :rolleyes:)

    Woah!! Cup Holders! Have You All Seen This

    i cant speak for anyone else, but my normal morning routine includes stopping at the gas station on the way in to work for a fountain drink (not a coffee guy but still need caffeine) that i can drink at work, not in the car. Also the fast food run at lunch, or just having a good spot for a...

    Progress Thread 1991 Foxbody K Member Swap

    Most people use the offset bushings to get the rack lower for oil pan clearance with an aftermarket k, then use the bumpsteer kit to correct that geometry. Some k's just move the rack down on its own as well, so watch for that

    What about socket head screws? Werent an option for me because of the tube routing (and the high port pattern) but iirc they worked fine with my bbk shorties on yhe standard pattern.

    Had the same problem with my 6228s. Nothing a bfh and an old socket extension cant handle. I also opened up the bolt holes in the flange to the next 1/32 up, and had to use arp bolts for the smaller head profile. I trashed the bolts that came with the headers, they were all the same 5/16...
