    Rebuilt valve body

    Hi,

    After quite a long time, I am thinking about getting marquis back on the road... A year ago I rebuilt the transmission, unfortunately without success (too high pressure, no shift from 1st gear). Since then marquis was waiting. Now I should have little more time, so I would like to do something with it. One of the possibilities is bad valve body so I would like to try another one.

    Could you, please, recommend me, where can I get rebuilt valve body for 89 AOD? Some e-shop, I would need to ship it far over the sea. I have found some but I really need only stock valve body, no performance or something like that, maybe valve body is not the problem and that is why I do not want to pay too much for it now.

    Many thanks

    The stock valve body, even a rebuilt one, without some sort of shift kit....is a turd.

    I'm thinking a LenTech unit, or ClickClick/Silver Fox racing piece....and have it built to mild specs.

      I bet if you contact Silverfox he could help you out.

      I've talked with him a couple times before and he seems like a decent enough guy. I've more than seriously considered buying one of his valve bodies for my own car, but other things have been more pressing.

              Valve body=hydraulic brain. Even looks like one! Controls shift logic.

                      ok Maybe I should not do that before as this could be reason of my troubles with transmission

                            I can see why you're needing a new one.

                              *doesn't know much about transmission innards*

                              why's he need a new one?
