i have an 87 speed density 5.0. the tranny is being rebuilt with heavy dutty clutches , shift kit, 2,200 stall converter!!
that 2200 is a complete waste of time and money. you wont even be able to notice the difference over stock. might help .1 seconds in the quarter mile but dont count on much.....please dont tell me its a b&m

Let it go into OD and as you press the gas you'll see the RPMS go up slightly with no MPH change ie it will be slipping slightly. Sounds weird but when my first AOD lost 4th gear that was the clue.

Speaking of convertors, didn't this same question come up yesterday, and the day before and

I have pretty good luck with the Transgo, they have been making shift kits since 1959. DId you have a bad experience with a transgo? I have had three of them so far... no problems.
