Chevy transmission are junk if they have od. My 700r4 would blow the pump seal everytime I thought about towing something.

The 4L60E in my heavy Suburban holds up to hauling. And 700-R4/200-4R can be built to handle anything, just like a Ford AOD can. The 4L80E is bulletproof, it's like a TH400 but with an OD.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

4L60E>700R4, just because the later ones got updates. The 700R4/4L60E can be built to handle anything. . . except boost. They're totally hit and miss, even the built ones, when you boost a big, fat assed truck. The 80E swap isn't something I'm looking forward to, but it's going to be a necessary evil for me to tow in OD with a blower.1992 CVLX. 5.0 HO/GT40P/T5/3.73/trak-lok with bolt ons. 02 front CVPI setup, rear HPP setup, CVPI shocks around, F250 radiator, e-fans, and the power of 3G. 15.92@89mph, 2.4 60', 4700' elevation (5500' DA) with 3.08 open rear and the old oil chugging 289.

Overdrive Solenoid? In an AOD (stock)? What?Originally posted by slymer View Post
Big RPM drop into 3rd? Sounds like a stock AOD to me. 3rd gear, the engine just drops down ridiculously. Bwahhhhhhh...Comment

yes... there's a solenoid that engaged the OD band. I don't know if it's mechanical or hydraulic... but it's there (read up on the A solenoid BS... the associated band is twice or better as wide as the stock one... hella more durable).Originally posted by 86VickyLX View Post
and yes... the drop is even worse on the wide range gears.

I broke a planetary set in a 4L60E by backing out of my driveway with my dead stock V6 S10. They're f'n expensive to have rebuilt too, more than an AOD. Of course when the only thing that is usable from the entire trans is the actual case, things tend to get pricey. I probably would have been better off pulling a junkyard trans and having it rebuilt.Originally posted by Crownvicman289 View Post
Half of the drop in RPM on a 2-3 shift with an AOD is because the trans goes into lockup. The torque converter is bypassed in 3 and OD, so you get a gear change and a lockup at the same time. Stuff with the torque converter clutch doesn't have as drastic a change since it usually does not lock up until after you hit overdrive.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I've noticed this with both the wide ratio AOD's in my 89 and 87. The 91 with it's rebuild stock AOD on the other hand, is much less noticeable.Originally posted by slymer View Post

I wouldn't have time to finish it all before the snow hits anyways, so I'm in no huge rush. Just want to enjoy the car as-is for the last few decent weather weeks around here.Originally posted by Crownvicman289 View Post
Yep, I think I'll stop to the yard this weekend and see if I can find any pre 90 panthers. Then I can simply swap pedal assemblies when the time comes.Originally posted by 87gtVIC View Post
Originally posted by mitymerc View PostCorrect, everything is from an 87 besides the pedals. I was talking to the guy about what I was doing, and mentioned all I really have left to find is the pedal assembly, he pointed at this 84 and said "there you go".Originally posted by 87gtVIC View Post
Everything has been sitting for a little bit, hence why it probably doesn't look resurfaced (no surface rust or anything, just grimy and dirty.)2020 F250 - 7.3 4x4 CCSB STX 3.55's - BAKFlip MX4
