im running an AOD in my 89Lx 5.0 drop top and just recently i think i may have burned or fried 3rd and 4th gears. Now whenever i drive on the highway my car goes 1st, 2nd..all the way up to 5000rpm and i have to back it down...on the street it goes 1st, 2nd, nu. what the hell can cause this to happen and what do i have to do to fix it? a rebuild, new aod.. throw me some help guys. Oh if ne of you know a great tranny shop other than Keiths Trans in castro valley let me know. Im willing to travel to castro valley, livermore,hayward, pleasanton, dublin, fremont etc..all 510, 925 areas thanx

I don't know how serious you plan on getting with your car, but remember that stock AOD's don't like lot's of power or drag racing. I went thru 2 before that dawned on me!

I now run a Lentech and the thing is INCREDIBLE!!!
It cost $2100 w/ 10" converter & includes shipping. It really is one of the best mods u can make. VERY reliable & the BEST customer svc. you could ever wish for.
Good luck with your re-build, but now may be the time to look at a better tranny. Just my opinion

Dont rebuild that tranny just get a new one. If you want to take it to a great tranny shop try golden gate transmission off Old santa rita road in pleasanton. They do great work.
