AOD - Slipping - Adjustments?

AOD Transmission - 210k Miles.


First Gear slips, over drive shifts a bit rough. Tourque Convertor engages and disengages consistantly at certian speeds.

Someone told me today I should 1) Get the filter changed 2) He says theres adjustments that can be made, and that these old transmissions have power band adjusters.

He suggests taking it to a transmssion shop and having them look at it. Are there any chances of being able to fix this w/o removing it? Also, is it even possible to get a real answer from a shop? Usually they just say to rebuild it...


I changed the fluid several thousand miles ago. It looked like motor oil coming from the transmission. Not pretty.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Usually when an AOD slips it's already toast. You confirmed it with the black fluid. It needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

Preciate it. That's sorta what I figured. I went by a couple shops today and they said the same thing.
