shift kits are for an automatic. they firm up the shifts and delay them too.

aod is a ford tranny and it stands for automatic overdrive. its a 4 speed and is pretty weak in stock form.

a common problem is burning up the stock o/d band by applying throttle while in o/d.

however they can be built up to handle 600 plus hp quite easily.

i have one myself.

I have one and it makes it shift like someone is powershifting it except quicker. It actually will help extend the life of your transmission too.
