    C4 into a 93 fox

    It's nice when we all agree on somthing.....THE AOD has a bad rap, but all-in-all it is accualy a GREAT trans, you just have to reveal it's hidden talentes :)

    Which kit/tc for AODE

    I suggest you do the Jmod like the TCCOA artcal says - it is free, and proven to work best! As for your shudder - I assume you only have this in 3rd/4th. What fluid are you using? Mercon? Also, like the TCCOA artical says, MERCON 5 (V) was desinged for the AODE/4R and it stops shudder when...

    sick AODE

    4.2 truck is in production now. Windsor sources are 3.8L, 4.2's, 1998-2000 5.0 exploreres. ANY 3.8 from 1994 to know will have the 4R70W, I suggest you find one that is 1999 or newer though, as they have all the best internals - if you find an early model one, not a big deal - just update...

    Transdapt Shiftkit... Questions.

    An AODE should be upgraded to an 4R70W IMHO, the swap is simple and you get the wide ration gear set and a trans that will hold 400 HP from the factory. I say this, cause your electronics will still work with it. It isn't that easy for AOD guys. If you want to keep the AODE and the even...

    C4 into a 93 fox

    I suggest staying with the AOD if that is what you have. The C4 should not be considered an efficeint swap for ANY street car. The AOD will hold just as much if not more than the C4 with some mods.

    Need new AOD tranny suggestions.

    Here is my comment. You are paying way too much for what you need if you buy an aftermarket built AOD. The factroy clutches will hold 400 hp---do you have 400 HP? Throw a shift kit in (www.becontrols), and a boost valve. Add a nice 3000 converter...lockup for street use, nonlock...

    302 camshaft

    iF YOU ARE STOCK HEADS, YOU won't get much increase. But you could stay SD with the crower 15501 cam that produces some real sick midrange power. LSA 114, for SD motors. Hit LSA of 110, 112 for mass...like Crane 2030 or TFS1

    Transdapt Shiftkit... Questions.

    This is the ONE LINK EVERY AODE/4R should read before they biittcch about thier trans. Take it from a guy that knows his way around autos....reeeeed and be merry. http://www.tccoa.com/articles/tranny/transmission/index.shtml

    Transdapt Shiftkit... Questions.

    just Jmod the trans and forget buying the transgo kit....the Jmod is PROVEN and is hands down the first thing you should do with any AODE/4R.

    does lobe separation have any correlation to boost?

    HIGH LSA makes better power up top due to the overlap being lower usually. Low LSA increases the chance that you are forcing boost out the valves and wasting energy of the SC. On another thought...the best application would be to have the overlap just perfect with the boost so that it forces...

    I need hope, whose.....

    The AODE or 4R70W will KILL any gear slapper at the drags with the right mods. If your trans isn't Jmodded with a 3000 converter by now you don't know what your messing with.....Once you do this you will feel like you have a whole new car!!

    sick AODE

    Go with a 1999+ 4R70W from a 4.2/3.8 and forget about it. The 4R is rated at 400 HP in factory form - just add a shift kit.

    96-98 info

    1998 4r70W trans started using the MECOWC - way better parts.

    95 Mustang 3.8L, Bogs down in 3rd gear. Need help.

    The TCC engages in 3rd and locks the TC to a 1:1 ratio with the tranny. This can be changed with a programmer or have a chip burned. Also, might want to do a Jmod on the trans for sharper shifts - it will feel like a whole new trans. but your bogging is the effect of the TCC. You could...

    my O/D OFF button came on. It's not blinking but what could be wrong?

    Its a fualt - you need the codes read by ford. Your MLPS/TCC/VSS sensor are throwing a code. Easy fix.

    AODE taking a crap on me?

    If you pull the AODE out, don't waste your time with it, slap a 1998 or newer 4R70W back in with some minor wireing mods and a Jmod, you will be whipping up on gear slammers and other autos all day.....I can help if you need info.

    Is my torque convertor shot????

    You are having a bad case of the AOD - you just described all the major fallbacks of the STOCK AOD. If 4th slips, the OD band is fried or the presure to the OD servo is weak - either way it will now require a rebuild - or at least some service to the internals. Get a shift kit from Baumann to...

    Transmission Decision

    C4 is a great idea for a non-street car. Lighter, easier, cheap too boot. But don't leave out the AOD, it is quite capable of hadeling power, just needs some help. Check out www.broaderperformance.com and www.network54.com for your C4 needs.
