RE: How do I wake up my AOD?
one thing that you MIGHT be able to do cheaper then a t5 swap is to go with a manual valve body from like lentech, and a b&m hammer shifter. This would let you control your shift points from 1st, to 2nd, and YES you can hold 2nd to any rpm, then shift into OD which would be 3rd, and if you need overdrive its on an electric switch/button. Thats just my 2cents tho. I know b&m hammer shifters are really fun in aode cars, but in an aod car its really dumb to have, its more for looks then anything.
But in my opinion, its always better to sell the aod, and buy a t5 then it is to do the swap. Much cheaper, and much easier.

RE: How do I wake up my AOD?
it depends on where you live and the type of car you have. It makes me laugh when people drop 2-3k in mods into a 2-3k car they bought and then still end up only getting 2-3k for it. out where im from all the foxes go for 2-3500 and there all around the same condition. You can buy them and sell them all for around the same. And they generally all have the same things done to them also. So if you want a t5, sell the aod for whatever, and buy a t5.
OR you can do the swap. I was just giving my 2cents. I hate it everytime someone opens there mouth about an opinion. GRRR <3 lol

RE: How do I wake up my AOD?
Well thanks for the replies... I still do not know if I want to do a few things to the AOD. So if I want a good auto what would it be a C4? or what... Still not 100% sure I want a T5.

RE: How do I wake up my AOD?
put it like this....c4 and t-5 will be close...if one stang has a c4 and one has a t-5 it would be a close race (if they r both stock)...c4's can take alot of stuff u throw at them...and u wont miss a shift ;-)...im going h/c/i and 3000-3500 stall with the juice...wanting 12's with slicks...and this is all for under 3000 dollars...so i say go c4...but u will only hav 3 gears not 4 like the aod...so your car will still be streetable but not like a t-5/aod would...and freeway driveing will suck ***** if u hav rear end gears...i bought mine from them

i have a rebuilt heavy duty clutch aod with shift kit , 3000 stall. runs realy nice, love my aod. O and the biggest tranny cooler made 4like anrv one because those converters run hot.
