well ill tell you what i just did an AODE to T5 swap and i love it. My aode was awesome though, if i were you i would do like i did get a shift kit, a 3000 stall (i had 2200 an was way too low) and get the line pressure boosted up and call it a day. Those MONSTER trannys arent anything special, basically a stock tranny painted up, with a shift kit, stall, and boosted line pressure. So i wouldnt waste your money on a whole new tranny, my tranny would chirp third on black top soo just do like i said and ull be happy with it. O yeah if u wanna get maximum performence out of ur tranny, get 4.10s ull love em. And by the why i had 106,xxx miles on mine with the aode and it didnt hurt the engine at all. pm me if u wanna know what parts i used SeriousSN95.
