sounds like what i went through. mine dumped on me about 2 weeks after i got the car. they replaced everything but the case under warranty. my second one lasted a week before it started going south again. at that point i threw in the towel and swapped in the t5. it is by far the best decision i made for the car. i bought the amp kit with a rebuilt tranny. it came with absolutely everything i needed for the swap. it does seem like their prices have gone up though. do a search for my username and the word "swap" in the 94-95 tech forum. i have made many useful posts about this subject. 1 of which has a full list with part numbers, prices, and places to order them from. good luck with it.rustang94 said:Well I am going with the t5 because I'm on my 3rd aode and I'm getting real sick of them. The first one I had replaced was covered under warranty and the last one I paid $1300 for a new one and it starting to feel like crap 8 months later. I would rather just do a swap.
well, the main parts are easy to piece together, but some of the smaller stuff can be a real pain in the rear to locate. things like the pressure plate bolts, bellhousing bolts, eec, and tranny harness may give you some trouble as far as finding them since you need them for a 12 year old car and many parts are no longer produced by ford. as far as my experience with amp, the kit was complete and arrived on time, but they did send me a 4.6 flywheel accidentally. that wasnt a big deal since i wasnt anywhere near ready for the flywheel to go in at the time. they agreed to send me the correct one, but it took many calls to get them to actually do it. the product was top quality, but the service after the sale was definitely lacking. they finally did make good on sending me another flywheel, but it should have been done without me having to be a major annoyance to get it done.rustang94 said:thanks green 94 5.0 I like the simplicity of buying a kit and yes they said their prices did go up witch sucks but what can you do. Well I will have to do a little more searching.
agreed 100%. not too long after i bought mine i changed the clutch, flywheel, shifter, cable, and quadrant. i could have saved a bunch if i pieced it all together, but at the time i just didnt want to deal with the hassle. it was worth the extra money for me not to have to deal with the complication.sage2k said:seriously piece it together yourself, why pay 2 grand for a kit for a stock 5 speed system when you can pay less and get better parts? it takes a little time to piece it toegether and find deals but its worth it!
The first time I lost 2nd gear. The 2nd time I lost 3rd and 4th gear. This time the converter came apart on me I got a new converter, filter, and fluid put in now and it seems to drive fine but who knows how long it will last. I have 2 weeks till I will have the money so till then I'll see what it will cost to peace it together thanks for all the help guys...gcomfx.com said:rustang94 - how has your tranny fluid looked each time the AODE went out? Did it smell burnt?
rustang94 said:Could someone make a complete list of parts other wise I sure I will forget something. Also I know I can use the driveshift I have now is there anything else I can use? Thanks
