Thread: Not to happy with AOD trany.

Tweet

Don...stall speed doesn't enter the picture with the Ford AOD. In Drive and OD the power goes through a shaft that splines into the front of the converter. Solid drive, no slippage involved. Like an old ClutchFlite!
Gasser....If you want to run in Drive, just shift it to Drive, no switch needed.

I have a '87 Mustang with a 302 & AOD, with a 273 rear ratio . it also turns 1650 @ 75, it's a real dog! but a high top end. (mine is lowered 1 1/2"front, 2" in rear, for handleing) The dogest car I have every owned! I have check on the Mustang sites and they say that the best cure is gears, to drop to 373 or 411's with a AOD, for everyday driving, then add a stall if you want more out of the hole.
The same car & gears but a stick is night & day differance.

My .02 worth.
