for 5 speed, look into a tremec TKO500 or 600 (unless you are keeping ur engine more stock, then a t5 will work). for a 6 speed, look into a tremec t56

personally i do not know anything about aod, so, I can't comment. I do know about t5,t56. I can't say one is better than another because I just don't know.

Snow? wow. I have a 95 Bronco and I would love to go in the snow right about now. XMAS in Florida isnt much of cold. Of course, we do have a lot of mud holes, but, i'd prefer the snow for my 4x4 and 12 psi in tires.
