Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I think all AOD's have the speedo gear on the tail
shaft.

My stock connector for the c4 works fine, but my speedometer is slightly off. I swapped my gear from 2.79 to 3:1 and never did swap the gear in the tranny.

As far as I know the c4, c6, fmx and aod all use the same cable.

hey old Man

you were 100% right. went to OReilly's and bought the Flex plate you were telling me about and it fit in much better.

(Part Number FRA205 from OReilly's).

For Guys out there trying to do the AOD swap on a 351W. Don't do the same thing i did by use the stock C6 flex plate. The FRA205 flexplate sets in about 1/4". over stock slex plate. The stock starter will still work.

old Man thanks agian
