Default tranny is goin out, thinkin of switching to C4...

i hate to say it, but my tranny is going any day now . its starting to slip pretty bad. im thinking about going with a C4 . if i do this, what else has to be changed? is a c4 a good idea, or should i just stick with the aod and do a performance rebuild? thanks!

Is it going to be a street car or only seeing track time ? I think an AOD would be the best from a mileage stand point.

ive got an AOD right now, so id like to stick with an automatic. im the only person i know with an auto coupe mustang, so id like to remain the black sheep in my group . whatever transmission i decide on, i am going with a bigger stall, probably around 2500 rpm... is this a decent stall for a daily driver? and i do need a lot of mileage out of it... so an AOD would be the best choice then eh...
