AOD VS. AODE

[EXTRPR50]

I may have to replace my aode in my just bought '95 Gt. I have future plans to beef up the motor with hi-po stuff.

Is there a preference for either tranny, or is an AODE just as good as an AOD?

I hear different views from magazine articles about the electronics on the AODE, wheather it's a god thing or not.

So what's the concensus?

They say the AODE will hold more power when properly built. But that's just what I read.

If it were me, and it is since mine has gone out... I would stay with the AODE and not screw with the computer stuff. If I were to go to the trouble of changing the tranny for something different, I would put a 5-speed in and forget it.

What kinda power are you talking?

A local shop that Art Carr recommended said that with Art Carr's input shaft, Diode kit and basic upgrade kit (about $700 for all) and the proper converter, the tranny can easily handle 600HP. (he's running cars like that at Moroso to prove it)

Are you going higher than that?

GCOMFX.COM,
I can get a used warranteed aode for 500.00 with converter, Ill do that most likely. Im buying the car for 1500.00. Thats also with the ac going bad, but thats a good price regardless. The car is from a friend so I know about it.

Do you like the 3.73's, or would you go to 4.10's?

Personally the 3.73s are enough for me. On the juice I cross the finishline at around 5,200 in third.

I also drive the crap out of my car when it's up and running. 167,000 miles on it right now. So I need all the gas mileage I can get.

I replaced my AOD for a Art Carr beefed AOD in my 90LX. Went from 13.20's to 12.80's just by changing the tranny. Purchase one that can handle anything thrown at it.

aode has definately proven itself, look at OINKaodeOINK pushin like 500 horses in hes turbocharged beast.

This might sound like a stupid question, but what does AOD and AODE stand for?

someone can go more indepth on this im sure, but im pretty sure AOD is Automatic over drive, but i may be wrong and the E on the end is electronic. Pretty sure, correct me if im wrong

GCOMFX.COM,

I love 4.10. However, I'm strongly considering going with 4.30 when I decide to "freshen up" everything in the rear.

Yup we have an electronicly (that spelling just looks wrong - LOL) controlled O/D. AOD have O/D in the shift pattern, ours is a whimpy looking button.

Like what has been previously stated, the AODE can be built to with stand some significant power levels. I believe the AODE also has stronger (more) clutches than the AOD?
