with the C4 you dont have overdrive. and overdrive is needed for a DD or for a ride that does any highway duties

rebuild depends on how you want it done. like i did the whole rebuilt tranny but it didnt last for me. im going witht a ART CARR tranny for around 1500 bucks. already set up for the strip. just need to supply my stall.

average rebuild for a AOD was around 800 i priced.
