    I was thinking the same thing. The prices look good but with my experience you get what you pay for. Hopefully I can find some feedback on them, it would be good to save a couple hundred dollars.

    Ryan, was searching this subject. Was wondering if you ever got the AOD in the car? Any words of wisdom?

    Dan, the words of wisdom is, don't worry. A trans in first class shape or rebuilt properly will stand up to a lot of punishment.
    Shift kit, pressure upgrades, 'A' servo and 2" OD band will take a lot of torque in a light car.
    I run one in my Lincoln Mark VII.
