    Heavy Duty AOD Build

    Built this transmission to go behind a Fox body Mustang with a 347 supercharged engine.

    Build starts with an E9 AOD case.





    The cast direct and forward drums are replaced with the late model stamped steel drums and the improved clutches.







    This is a standard ratio AOD, updated to 2" OD band





    The owner chose to retain the lock up torque converter and a 300m input shaft was installed.



    The forward clutch piston was machine to accommodate an improved forward clutch wave plate



    Lubrication improvements include removing the cooler check ball and spring in the front pump stator.



    The sonnax A+ OD servo was installed and the plastic 2-3 accumulator piston was replaced with the late model bonded rubber piston.





    Transmission was assembled with a new NOS HO governor and air tested... It passed.





    A valve body from SilverFox has been ordered and due to arrive in a few weeks.

      If you weren't so far away, I'd have you build me a bulletproof AOD.
      1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.
