Hey All,
The AOD in my 86 needs rebuilt and I'm tired of waiting on the shop to do it. It's been there for over 2 months and they haven't worked on it yet. All the parts are sitting in the car waiting to be installed. What I want to know is how hard is a non-electronic AOD to rebuild? I'm considering just doing it myself if they don't get to it in the next week or so. I have above average mechanical ability and a healthy amount of patience. I can change heads, a cam, intake whatever. I've never rebuilt and engine, but I'm sure I could do it with a book and a few pointers. So how hard would it be and am I going to have to invest in a bunch of specialty tools to do the job right? I would be taking my sweet time doing the rebuild to make sure everything is done perfectly.
