Transgo AOD-HP shift kit

[bart]

ok guys, more detail on this shift kit for different rear gears thing...............never heard of this..........whats the difference? i have been going to buy one of these kits in the near future, i have seen them on e-bay but doubt they know anything about this different kit for different rear end ratio thing. is this in the instructions or is it actually a different kit with different parts??????

there was nothing in mine about it. on the front page of the instructions it gave an example to show how to figure your gear or whatever and they used 3.73 as their final gear on it. i just figured everything was ok with mine.

maybe it has something to do with how you install the kit vs what rear gear you have.............i have seen some web sites that detail this kit and the instructions and have'nt mentioned this......guess i will find out one of these days......

I know,,It didnt say anything on mine either.When you call to order it,tell them your gear size.As far as buying that one on ebay,,theres a tech telephone #,,call them up and ask them how you can tell the difference.The guy that installed mine has been drag racing,and building trannys for 40 years,so I have confidence that it was installed correctly.He never heard of trans-go,but was very impressed with the kit!!

To answer you question - unhook the lower tranny line, put it in the ned of a bottle (clear 2 L) start the motor let run for a few seconds and then shut down. Re hooh up line and start and check tranny, do this until very little fluid (almost none!)DO NOT PUT IT IN GEAR!!!, then top up.

i recently bought a transgo HP shift kit for the AOD and put it in this past weekend. which for anyone thinkin about this kit i strongly reccomend it, it absolutely rips 2nd when im all over it. so many thanx to those of you who told me to do that.

ok, heres the thing though. ive probably put maybe 4-5 miles on it, just makin sure everything was ok, and so far it is. BUT when i did this, sent my friend to the parts store for filter and fluid, he came back with it, but the fluid was type f. well durrr if my dumbass didnt throw it in there not thinkin. so i need to know, how can i flush this stuff out? never had to do it and i dont feel like paying 150 for a flush (will if i have to though)

and im supposed to put mercon III or IV in it, correct?

I realize this thread is ancient, but I'm desperate. I'm hoping that a poster that has previously installed this Transgo AOD-hp kit has saved the instructions in a file, and had the capabilities to photograph or scan them into a reply for me. I would really appreciate it greatly!

I have a request open to anyone, about these AOD-HP shift kits from Transgo. Some one out there must have saved the instruction sheet after installing one of these kits. Sorry if I'm starting to sound desperate, but I'd rather not buy an extra kit just to get the instructions if I don't have to. If someone could please photograph and post a copy of the instructions to this thread, that would be great! Thanks in advance. -Fordy
