Let me start of that I bought this kit without reviewing other kits before hand and need to know if I should get this installed or get my money back and go with something else. My current mods on my AOD are TCI 3000 Stall, 3.73 Gears, Ford Racing Transmission Cooler, Rebuilt AOD with Alto Clutches, Ford Racing Pan. Is the kit I bought for $75 any good or do I need to get a Transgo Shift Kit or Performace Automatic etc... I want to spend less than a $100 on the kit and do not want to do a costly valve body swap right now. Thanks in Advance for the help.

ive been looking to do the same thing i havent bought one yet though. but i havent heard any good reviews if it were me id send it back and get the transgo better be safe then sorry. id spend an extra 50 bucks to be sure i dont need to spend more later ya know what i mean. i have seen a few sites where they have transgo shift kits for under 100

spend the 190 bucks and get a street/strip valve body...plug and play....shifts are fast and tight.....i think its my best mod.

Is this kit better than the Transgo Kit? What do yall suggest?

If you want something that will be the best get a Lentech valve body....that is all you will need...It makes the AOD like an AODE... your trans will be a true 1st 2nd and 3rd gear trans then you have an electric switch to put it in and out of overdrive ...so what happens...is 1st stays 1st...D ..becomes second...OD becomes 3rd...then you have a switch mounted were you want to put it in OD or take it out...This is a valve body and shift kit combined...The valve body is about $500 but its worth it!!!!!

get the lentech and they only run $350 on there website....and if your planning on having a tranmission shop install the shift kit for you your looking at 300-400 in work considering it takes 3 to 4 hours to install one of those kits so mite as well just get the valvebody and do it yourself

Yeah i think its the better way of doing it no?...Thats the way im going....

I've used the B&M Transpak and it worked fine. It had hard banging shifts and it did the job.
I now have a full manual valvebody and it was $329.

I guess its to late since I already returned it to Mustangs Unlimited. I wish I had the money to get a new valve body but I can only afford a shift kit right now and would like to get the best shift kit for < $100.00

[cindys_sn95]

have used the b&m kit several times.works great. shudda kept it!!

[spdjnky_42]

You ought to just save the $ until you can afford the valve body...

TCI 1980 on AOD Streetfighter Valve Body PN# 432200

Is this Valve body a good choice and will I be able to do this without messing up my transmission or should I pay a shop? I've built 90% of my car but just not to familiar with transmissions. Thanks.
