I am looking to purchase an AOD for my 93 today. The car will never put down more than 300 N/A and is my daily driver. It has 410 gears. Just looking for any suggestions from past use or things you have heard.

Mild performance AOD ofcourse, not a stocker.

Mr. Don Sir, i'm not quite sure, but i got a friend who may be selling a damn near NEW Lentech AOD with a 3000 NON-lockup stall converter WITH a B&M ratchet shifter to go with it for only like 6-700 bucks. lemme know if your interested and i could find out for you.

the only thing is, Non-lockup converters generate more heat than a Lockup converter, but if you have a good tranny cooler (i got a huge B&m trans cooler with a fan on my stang) heat wont exist. [Smile]

Who has the tranny? Jayl?
 
Posted by jayl (Member # 185) on :
 
no mine is a Precision / GER built but was purchased from stoauto! sup man!

Just bit the bullet and ordered the stage two unit from PA with converter including 2,400 stall. Summit is AMAZING compared to EVERYWHERE else [patriot]

Thanks for your offer Jayl. VERY reasonable, but I wanted to make sure I didn't have to do the job more than once and got the year warranty [Wink]

Yes they do, I have 3.73's and my speedo is calibrated correctly.

Got it from Steeda.

For 92-93 they do not make anything closer than 3.55 calibration gears.

so.. how did U calibrate your speedometer? help me out bro. i want to install this gears asap but don't want my speedometer to be all over the place. i might just bite the bullet and buy some 3.73s just to have the speedometer a bit more acurate

Again, I cannot calibrate it correctly. Closest I can get is 3.55's but it would still be off.

check this link about speedo calibration....

http://www.mindspring.com/~steveflyer/speedo_gear_select.htm

you can do it...it involves getting into the trans to replace the driven gear.

don't know anyone who actually did it.

4.10's in my 5-speed and i just dealt w/ the 10 mph or so it was off. no big deal really...clicks more miles than your really driving.

the tach stays fine....it runs off the coil.
