Boosted Power: Can This Ford AOD Transmission Take It?

[@charlesdalton985]

The icing metaphor was perfect. And to extend it - no point in baking the cake if the icing is bad - good catch on the fit! Thanks as always for bringing us along ~ Chuck

Thanks for keeping the AOD. They work very well with a small cash outlay and a little time as shown here.

I like the AOD/4R70 hybrid idea

Hey Junior...I see you have a professional bandage install on your poking digit at 14:23. Here's a tip that works for me. Heat shrink. Really keeps in all together. Another great video all! Keep it up.

I have a NOS set of Canfield heads that would work great on the build. Another great video with some quality mods.

Thank you Jay.

That shaft that you installed doesn't eliminate lock up. The shaft you installed is just a hardened version of the original shaft. It splines into the direct drum(3rd and 4th gear) on one end and the front cover of the torque converter on the other end. It's a direct drive shaft. The input shaft that eliminates lockup is a whole different shaft.

I still believe the Fox body is the best Mustang ever!

fyi, your past two videos didn't pop up on my subscription feed. A guy at work asked me if I saw the HP numbers with the procharger installed and I had to search for it. This one appeared on my subscription page with no change on my end.

Thank you for letting us know.

2 AOD's down in 4 months. I give up on overdrive transmissions. Going to c6.

Where can I find this valve body

[@JH-oh1in]

4R70W update or the AODE if you want the same gearing.

Going tangent here...what's with the tachometer? I have a one owner 93 GT that I repaired a cold solder joint on the circuit board on the back side of the gauge.

My eyes may be deceiving me but it appears that the shift detent, or “rooster comb” was not installed into the slot on the shift valve. I did this job on the line for years. Seeing things??

[@hemmingsmotornews]

@JasenRamsey-er6ek Good eye, not seeing things!

[@JasenRamsey-er6ek]

Oh boy 😄. So at what point did the crew notice.

[@AV131082]

A lot of work this time.

[@drivebigmuscle8080]

We always wonder if the majority of people understand how much time and effort goes into modifying a car properly.

That transmission is garbage, I don’t care what you do to it. I had mine beefed up internally with better clutches and gears and it still couldn’t handle my supercharged 306. Had it rebuilt twice. Third gear gave out again last week. Good bye AOD. Hello TKX.

[@hemmingsmotornews]

Sorry to hear that! Hopefully the next one doesnt give out quickly!

It’s a trans designed for economy, it was meant for 150hp applications. They lasted plenty long when not having 3-400 hp ran through it. I’ve got an aod in my fox and it’s definitely giving me grief but it lasted about 20 years for my dad on the last rebuild so it’ll probably do just fine for me.
