Trans problem on first drive
Finally get my truck back together after 2 years of not driving it. It was all apart for final paint and a rebuild AOD (So I was Told when I bought it). First drive the trans would shift into overdrive and then the engine would just rev. Great!
Took trans back out and opened it up. Everything is new put as you can see the OD band it smoked. I bet who ever had this trans last never adjusted the TV cable right.
I have another trans so I opened it up to get the rev drum and its a little different . I think its an updated drum. Anyone no for sure?

Hi Reg,
Sorry to hear about your AOD problems.. I would recommend Baumann
Engineering. They have a great site with everything you would ever want to know on AOD & AODE transmissions.
We upgraded our 351W & needed to beef up our AOD to handle the HP.
Baumann Electronic Controls Company History
We went with a Kevlar Overdrive Band from Baumann as it's common for the stock one to slip off under acceleration.
We also used their upgraded Overdrive Servo. They come in (3) flavors - you want to use the strongest 2 inch Servo.
The Base AOD comes with a weak 1.5 in. servo.
Setting the TV Cable is very hard to get right ...and very small adjustments can give you large pressure changes.
Don't feel alone - We broke (2) AOD's before finding an old guy AOD expert at a Trans shop.
Good luck over there.

Pardon the mess. Still working on the wiring to other parts of the vehicle.
