    Drivetrain Aod Tech Guys Heeeelp!

    Just so I understand things better, how can you have 3 shafts and be set up for non lockup? .. I thought the 3/4 inner shaft ran straight from the 3rd gear clutch pack to a splined hole in the back of the TC housing and the whole advantage of going non lockup was to eliminate that weak point of...

    89 Clutch Issues

    You shouldn't need an adjustable cable with the firewall adjuster, that ebay link would be all you needed but the firewall adjuster in that auction looks like it only has 1 mounting point (I've seend quite a few that have dislodged themselves from the hole in the firewall). Late Model Resto has...

    Aod Or 4r70w? Which Is Better?

    Well aside from all the bad things I heard about the heat from non-lockup converters does having no lockup on yours make the OD ratio different? My main deal was I do alot of interstate driving and figured constant slip at interstate speeds would = cooked even with an enormous cooler. Whats your...

    Aod Or 4r70w? Which Is Better?

    From what I've come to understand after rebuilding a couple the major flaws on the AoD boil down the the tiny 3/4 secondary input shaft, roller sprag, and the stupid band that engages the overdrive is easy to torch if you are beating on it all the way into OD. They have 1 piece input shafts for...

    89 Clutch Issues

    The plastic stock quadrant is overly flexible and the teeth that do the self adjusting tend to wear out after a bit so you're probably correct. My suggestion would be an aftermarket aluminum quadrant and a firewall adjuster for the cable.

    Not The Torque Box Thread I Was Hoping To Post.

    Did the bracket get torn apart any or did it just pop the spot welds like the pictures show?

    Engine Lifters Noisy

    I always just soaked my lifters vertically to let em fill up and then installed. They will be spongy until installed and oil pressure is applied to them if I'm not mistaken. No clue why they are so noisy offhand tho, is your oil pressure looking ok? were your rocker arms sloppy at all after...

    Engine High Idle, Rough Start

    I'm with 88LX5.0h pretty sure only electrical connections on my aod are for the backup light switch and neutral safety switch pretty sure even TC lockup was non-electical up until aod-e

    Forced Induction Installed Supercharger, Now The Car Is Slower?

    Wow, guess I have been lucky then never had any bigger than 24s and haven't had any problems yet but don't exactly beat on her to much. How the heck can vortech get away with selling their 5-6 psi kits saying you can use 19 lb injectors? Surprised they haven't been the cause of a bunch of...

    Engine Bypassing Coolant Lines From Egr Block On Accufab Throttle Body

    Ok well I was giving a temp at idle not stating EGR ran at idle, I realize it does not. Also theres about 100 other threads about that same exact topic so w/e u want to believe ( this one for example...

    Engine Bypassing Coolant Lines From Egr Block On Accufab Throttle Body

    The coolant in the spacer very much has something to do with the egr system .. exhaust gasses piped back into the motor are what, 400+ degrees at idle? .. this is the only reason to have coolant (which is typically 195ish degrees) going thru your air intake. If you have your EGR system...

    Forced Induction Installed Supercharger, Now The Car Is Slower?

    24 lb injectors with 6 lbs of boost is plenty imo, have never run into any lean situations running that setup or even with closer to 10 lbs of boost or have I just been lucky? Of course I do agree that FMU is a bandaid and a pump upgrade should be a must when adding any kind of forced induction.

    Paint Problem

    Never seen something wrinkle because clear was put on with no catalyst, just run off the panel and of course never harden like was said. Need more specifics to answer tho, was this rattle can stuff or what products did you use?

    Upholstery Upgrades using Stock Fox Frames!!

    I have the 87-89 highback and want to eventually get your SVO mach I sports seat upholstery and foam BUT, I do see that the headrests are different, would you be able to send me the headrest upholstery for the 87-89 with the SVO kit or is a kit a kit and there's no changing it? Also wondered...

    Aod Help!!

    Sorry if im bringing back a dead thread but AoD trans pressure makes a HUGE difference if it gets out of wack as well. Mine was way to low and wasn't disengaging clutch packs to downshift and would nearly stall my motor every time I stopped. I went and followed the txchange guide of how to...

    Engine Strange Timing **** Happening

    Lol not sure I would have apologized to anyone that called me "no help" due to their own ignorance but .... Not sure why the wiring swap makes it start better, engine can idle fine with the timing all screwed up, seen it a ton but things sure go south once a load gets put on it. I do know that...

    Will Trickflow Spacer Work With Trickflow Intake With A Stock Hood On 1993 Gt

    It sure should work for ya. Delayed response I know :) Mine has a 1" spacer and just barely didn't fit under my strut tower brace, fit fine after a little adjustment tho of course. O ya forgot to mention I do have a 2" cowl hood so can't be 1000% sure not running a stock one, but I can't...

    Gangsta Lean... Suspension

    If you didn't want to go the spacer route (which I did on my last stang and didn't run into any issues) they make a couple diff. sets of lower control arms that let you control the ride height.

    Thermostat Will NOT Seal PITA

    Not saying you did or anything but with stock T-stat housing it IS possible to put them in backwards, your definitely right though most you can't. Last 2 stangs I've bought when I tore down the motor T-stat was in backwards, must be something in the water around here.
