Hello all, I thought I'd document my rebuild and upgrades on my AOD. It's being repaired to go in an 88 Bronco with 302 with GT40P heads and headman headers. I had to rebuild it because I used an E4OD/C6 flexplate with the 302 I swapped in and it pushed too far and chewed up the pump flooding the trans with aluminum.
I ordered:
Napa OEM overhaul kit-$176, came with RAYBESTOS clutches and steels, not performance stuff but I think it speaks for the quality of the kit.
Baumann Valvebody Reacal Kit-$60
Seal installer Kit-$99 on ebay ordered after slightly nicking a lip seal
Discontinued lip seal $20 order from KC
Torque converter flush-?? I'm not sure where to get this done, any suggestions are appreciated.
I just spent two nights cleaning the valvebody and installing the valvebody kit, there was ALOT of aluminum dust in there. Everywhere else was fairly clean except the forward clutch piston, kind of cool how it was distributed. I'll be sure to post results on the valvebody kit as I haven't seen anyone reviewing Baumann's kit.
