    e-test tomorrow, need belt length!!!!!

    I already searched threads but seems like everyone is running no smog pump. I'm using mine to try and pass my emissions test. I've got underdrives and the March a/c eliminator kit. I need the belt length with everything else still on. I've got alt,ps,water pump, crank and SMOG pump. Thanks...

    AOD help needed quickly

    if your serious about getting rid of the 1-d-1 and want to do it right, get yourself a Lentech valvebody. Your shifter will work the way it is designed to work and you never have to worry about a full throttle OD upshift.

    FAILED EMISSIONS! Have a few questions...

    I think he may have been refering to NOT passing w/o cats due to some states having a visual check. Up here in Canada, they do a visual check to see that they are there. Most of us have to have a "friendly" set of eyes verify that they are installed. Once that is done, we do pass without them...

    1-D-1 w/ Transgo?

    Ramjet; you said you have a lockup converter and a 1 piece input shaft. Are you sure? Or is it a hardened input shaft? a 1 piece shaft requires a non lockup converter. You may have your parts mismatched.

    AOD improvement????

    Not a huge fan of B&M parts here either. Transgo and Baumann shift kits are pretty much the choice for us AOD guys. You can tailor your shift points a bit better with these. He must be talking a hardened input shaft for that price and you'd need a non lockup converter if you went 1 piece as...

    AOD improvement????

    they must be using some p.o.s converter. A decent one will run close to that price just by itself.

    Fender door gap..?

    I've got the exact same problem. Some clown jacked the car up in the wrong spot. Take a look under the car and see if the spot where the 2 pieces of metal are spot welded together. If they are bent, you probably have the fender bent a bit. I'm going to get a body shop to fix mine to make sure...

    What's the tube size of a Borla catback?

    That system looks just like the one on my car. However, it's been on mine for close to 12 years. They do last a long time although mine has never seen snow or salt. the pipe diameter does sound right. I tried measuring mine but only had a metal tape and had to eyeball it but is is closer to 2...

    1-D-1 w/ Transgo?

    I'm pretty sure it won't downshift all the way to first (not really up on the transgo kit). You might want to call the tech line at transgo and see what they say. I'd be a little hesitant to downshift at that kind of speed just in case. Don't forget that you've still got that wimpy input shaft...

    3.73 or 4.10s for an AOD?

    I'd seriously rethink those tires. I know its expensive but with that short sidewall, you aren't getting a ton of traction with those. A 26X10.5 11X15 would really help you out on your launchs.

    13 second recipe for AOD?

    If you are planning on doing the swap, why mod out the aod. Just throwing good money away. But 13's are pretty easy if you do it right. Gears-check, higher stall-3000 is about right, traction- get some sticky tires.

    1-D-1 w/ Transgo?

    Ramjet? do you still have the lockup converter in the car and what are you running for tires. I've got a buddy that runs in the 9.50's and he doesn't spin the tires. Might be time for some new shoes.

    Aod not grabbing gear at warmup? need help asap

    If I remember correctly, the square port does have a gasket and I believe it was cork. May be wrong but it does seem to be in my brain somewhere. I can't see that being the problem but worth a shot.

    3.73 or 4.10s for an AOD?

    3.73's if you don't plan on racing the car alot. the biggest reason for the loss in mileage besides the increased cruising rpm is the driver. With the new gears you'll be using the throttle alot more to play with the car. It will be so much more fun to drive that the loss in mileage isn't that...

    1-D-1 w/ Transgo?

    Jay, if the shifter is in D it shouldn't shift into overdrive. And the mustangs valvebody prevents full throttle upshifts into OD anyway to save the OD band. Keep it in D and you'll be fine.

    1-D-1 w/ Transgo?

    Jay, you're not really going to get those chirps with the higher stall converter. What you will get is alot more acceleration. the chirps are fun but they are hard on parts. As for advice on launching an aod on street tires, get better tires. Seriously you'll have to learn the tires limits and...

    Mods for an auto...?

    Biggest bang for the buck, converter. On a relatively stock h/c/i car you could be looking at over a second reduction in et and a whole lot more fun street driving with a higher stall converter.

    Got my car back (rebuilt AOD)--->

    Jaymac; it does sound like its a bit higher than i would expect. when the shop put it together did they check the line pressures on the side of the trans. You might want to double check the fluid level too. It does take a few more rpms to get moving but you may just forget about it after you...
