Shift quicker

Gumby84 · May 5, 2009

i was wondering if there was a way to make my AODE shift quicker? it seems to take longer then say a 4l60 in a camaro. this is my first ford so i am not sure if it is normal for this type of trans. also if a shift kit will say help or fix this problem will it shift so hard that it blows up or makes it undriveable during normal driving?

You can get a TransPak from B&M or something like that. It will make it shift quicker, and actually reduce the wear in the transmission.

I'm using a Transgo HD2 shift kit. Shift firmness is adjustable. Nothing will "blow up".

Look into J-modding the trans.

Instal an external trans cooler no matter what you do!

Same here. I love it.

Definitely a good eye deer for any auto tranny.

either j-mod it or go the Transgo route. tranny cooler is a must even if its a stock tranny. i went a step further and added a deeper pan and trans temp gauge.

my trans shifts firm and quick now. it also chirps the tires when i feel like it

DAN 5.0 your transgo shift kit allows you to drive normal and chips when you hammer down. do shift kits help trans life or reduce?

SN95StangMan · May 6, 2009

The harder shifts will actually increase the life of the tranny. Quicker shifts = less wear on the clutches

Dan95-5.0 · May 7, 2009

the transgo kit increases the line pressure and like SN95stangman said, increased clutch life. those very slow delayed shifts kills the clutches.

normal soft acceleration and the shifts are nice and tight and instant. with more throttle 1-2 chirps really nice.

True but they can shock load the rest of the drivetrain and increase the risk of failure elsewhere.

The OP didn't indicate the extent of his mods if any. I wouldn't be overly concerned with a stock engine but you're correct it does put stress elsewhere. With my mods I expect to snap an axle one day.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.
