TRANS HELP

[keith6891]

i have a aod trans i like the auto i know you guy like stick but i have what i have my aod is going i would like to know should i rebuild it or go with a c6 what is the diff from a aod and a c6 pos cons the c6 has a stall 2200 to 2600

 

[dastang2]

the c6 is a badass tranny, but only for bigblocks and trucks that tow a lot of heavy stuff. it eats up about 67 HP to turn it since it has heavy internals. you need to rebuild that aod or swap over to a c4/c5. c6's are great trannies and can handle a lot of TQ but like i said, unless you have a 514 stroker putting out over 700 hp and 600 ft/pds of tq then you don't need it. those numbers are not what the c6 can handle but it sounds good. it can handle a lot more than the c4 or aod. stay with an aod or c4/c5

pros of a aod overdrive-cons expencive-pros of a c-4 parts cheaper-cons no overdrive

 

[keith6891]

what kind of power can that aod take?do i have a stall put in if so what### i was told that it could not take a stall over 2000 if so can you tell me how...

 

[Js5ohLX]

It can take whatever stall, I know a guy with a 5500 stall with a AOD. Go with a properly built AOD. I'm selling mine with 0 miles for $600, and it's good for 600 hp. Just get a trans shop that maybe you know someone at and can trust for a good build, use transgo shiftkit or a lentech valve body and roll out

i have researched all this as well as i have an aod as well. there's a 2000 stall you can get for around 160, and a 23 or 2400 stall for around 275, as long as it's a lock up type converter you should be ok, as far as cruising on the freway in od, it will be locked up and not slipping.
as far as power/rebuilding from what i have researched it depends on what you wanna pay. you can sppend 2 grand on a high dollar lenteck and it' will handle anything a 302 will throw at it. basically, you want a trans go shift kit or high performance valve body, heavy duty clutches and bands, an external cooler, and i believe there's a couple other mods a good tranny shop can do to it and it should be good to go. probably cost about a grand if you took it somewhere and had them do it all........labors the killer there....

get a book and rebuild it yourself

 

[keith6891]

this suc** i have a good friend that was going to give up his c6 he just dont need it ok the c6 is out i dont have that much hp i was going for 350 to 425 hp in time so as far as the aod the labor,is free i just need to know what to get so if you guys know can you give me a list of all parts

 

[shttygtstang]

alot of good stuff is on ebay thats were i got most of the stuff to rebuild my aod its in the shop now

 

[keith6891]

parts list anyone

 

[timewarped1972]

try searching the web under aod rebuild kits, or try b&m or one of many other tranny companies they have rebuild kits. there's even a video out for rebuilding it i saw on e-bay......i'm sure there's a do it yourself hi po rebuild web site somewhere out here in cyber land.
there right you would'nt want a c-6, if anything a c-4 but since you have an aod already and are sticking with an auto you might as well build the aod and take advantage of having the overdrive.

i heard bye many tranny shops that the aod is the hardest and most expensive to rebuild because you need a lot of specialty tools just for that tranny
