A good shift kit for an AOD?

Will, my tranny is almost toast and I am going to rebuild it. What is a good shift kit to get for it? It is an AOD in my 88 Bronco. Should I go with a stage 1 or higher? Any particular brand? Anyone else have shift kits in their AOD, if so what kind? Thanks!

TransGo is the best for all around usage. Many kits are equal at WOT, but none are as good for part throttle performance(responsiveness, downshifting). They are the most involved(more parts), but their intent starts out with correcting factory symptoms. Good luck,

How much do those usually run? I looked at their site and it explains them somewhat. Anyone else? Thanks!

TransGo has many "correction" kits, for most transmissions, and they are probably around $25-$30. Their performance "shift" kits are about $100 for the AODE, and $110 for the AOD. I still have an extra one for an AOD. Is your planned use general, performance, drag race, or towing?

Thanks, I talked to a couple of other people and was told to go with the reprograming kit. That seems like my best bet.

Very good. The intended usage is the way to decide which level or product to choose. Good luck,
