    Mercon V is also the new recomended fluid for the AOD. It was not available when the AOD was in production, but Ford recomends it's use now, IF aq complete chage is made.

    AOD/kickdown help

    Yes, set the TV cable the way it is supposed to be. If you error, do it on the tight side, not loose. When you have the gas pedal on the floor, you want the TV cable as close as you can be to the full pressure position on the trans, with out it getting to max too early.

    do U/D pulleys harm engine???

    With underdrive pulleys, you need to decide what your type driving is mostly, and your priorites are. If you do most of your driving in town, and just have to have a 100 watt + sound system , then do not think about getting them. If you spend a lot of time on the highway, and listen to music at...

    AOD won't come out

    Draining the converter will not help it come out easier, but will sure make for a cleaner shop floor. If you dont drain it, you will get about 6-8 quarts of trans fluid come out if that trans shaft slips out of the converter more than a inch or two. I would also plug the 2 fittings on the right...

    Track rules "overflow catch can", what can I get away with using?

    I had to remove my factory recovery tank to rout new fuel lines, and make room for new MSD box. Since mine is not a daily driver, I disconnected the washer line form the W/S washer bottle, and connected the radiator tube to it. My washer bottle is in front of the radiator, so less chance of...

    You need to state your HP goals first. Depending on your goal, $3,000 could buy the complete engine, or only the block.

    F/I or Carbed

    Tenessee has no vehicle inspections at all. Metro Nashville has some type of inspection, and maybe one other city, but not the State. I live in Clarksville, and am putting the finishing touchs on my 93 Tbird with a carbed 393 stroker.
