what kinda specs shoudl i get on my AOD? i mean valve body, shift kit, internals, stall?!?!?!? sorry, my recent post got deleted due to the crash, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
New one-way-clutches and used a spiral snap ring on the intermediate one-way-clutch (the stock snap rings are known to fly off which I found the case with mine when disassembled.)

This is a link to a page for a spiral snap ring that I found-
Is this the same one you guys were talking about? My AOD's being done tomorrow, and I wanted to see if I could get my hands on one before then.
Thanks,

My trans is an '89 so it had cast drums but they used a stamped steel forward clutch in it. 1990 up used stamped steel drums. Here's a list of mods I made to it to make it take some abuse.
-Upgraded direct clutch to stamped steel and used an Alto 8 friction clutch pack in it. (the direct clutch has the most stress of all clutch packs - the stamped steel drums will take more abuse on the splines for the lock-up shaft)
- New one-way-clutches and used a spiral snap ring on the intermediate one-way-clutch (the stock snap rings are known to fly off which I found the case with mine when disassembled.)
- Forward clutch (stamped steel) - used 5 friction Alto clutch pack
- Reverse clutch - stock repl. alto browns
- Replaced all piston seals in clutches (*Need to buy seal installers - about $80.00)
- Red Eagle Overdrive band
- A+ Super Servo by Fairbanks (33 percent more holding power than stock)
- Sonnax boost valve and throttle valve.
- Zero leak 2-3 accumulator (stock for replacement for '97)
- Hardened lock-up shaft
- Edge Mild Street Convertor
- Transgo shift kit (if you're building for racing you may want to look at Lentech valve bodies or PA.)
I have probably about $1000.00 in it counting the Convertor but it should hold up well and shifts great.
