Just upload the pictures to your Gallery. Then just copy and paste the Image Code for the picture from the Gallery to the thread where you want to post it.

 

Dan--Or anyone who knows . Dont recall where or why I heard it, but I think I was under the impression that you had to get the resolution of the pic way down or it would display too big. I generally take pics in fairly high res so that I can then zoom in on closeups and retain decent resolution (older Minolta 4mp w/10 optical zoom). I was thinking that you needed to reformat pic for around 200X200, especially to email. Am I all wrong?

This isnt a hijack, its going to the subject of the thread, which is about trannys, but I also want to post some pics comparing a 5.8 OEM exaust manifold to an SVO SS mustang shorty. Somewhere there is a thread about truck exaust systems, guess I better get busy.

 

okay, clear.
The main preferences i had for an AOD was Overdrive as first thing, and lock-up as second thing.
When the AOD is build to last, we need to drop the lock-up converter, and put a normal, solid shaft in the AOD. So, constant slip, approx. 10% needless lost. (there goes the advantage over a C6..)
When build to last, we need to modify the AOD, put soma harsh material in it, wich cost' a lot of green also.
Then we have to make it fit with an adapter plate, and have it work onto the engine with the TV instead of vacuum.
Then i see no advantage in comparisation with a gear Vendors, wich just bolts on. I even see a preference for the gear vendors then, as it's a unit build to last, no real mod's needed.

The real main thing that dissapoints me about the AOD, is that i have to ditch the lock-up converter when i want to make it rigid.
Also, the 4R70W has a different lock up style, and is able to have lock up in 2nd, 3r, and OD gear, where the AOD only has lockup in OD.

It's a pitty about the size of the E4OD, as it's a perfect unit for what i want....
I'm curious on how the pictures show.
Also like to see a website where all dimensions are written down, so i can measure one and another.

I'm a tad crazy, i know, but currently i'm thinking about saving my money until one and another comes in reach, and cut the floor to make space for the E4OD....

Here is the size limitarion.


Maximum image file size is 3145728 bytes. Image type may be JPG/JPEG, GIF or PNG.

 

The loss of lock-up (if really needed--per application) Does not make it the same as the C6. Certainly a loss on efficiency, but there is still the 33% OD ratio of the AOD. 4R70W can lockup in all gears, but maybe does so like the E4OD, which locks up once at ~45 MPH, unless you can control the TCCS, lockup solenoid (I am fixing to do that on my E4OD). The 10% I believe is the ratio lost between lockup and non-lockup, which may not = 10% loss of mileage.

Not trying to talk you out of or into anything. Its your money, as long as you dont spend mine, go for whatever you wish. We just suggest you consider that you may past the "point of diminishing returns".

Tx for the help on the pics. I surfed last nite on this site and found that I should have looked a little bit before asking worn out questions Maybe I can get some pics posted. Still have a question or 2, but will ask on the help thread, Tx again.

 

Another suggestion.

Have you considered a Tremec 5 speed? It can be purchased with several optional OD ratios. Bell housings are available. You will need to fabricate or retrofit clutch linkage. A hydraulic clutch should not be that difficult. It is possible that a clutch setup from a Ford Sedan will work.

 

omg...
A manual?????????????????????????????????????????
please tell me this ain't a manual....
Dan, this IS concidered as cursing...
We outlived the stone age.... No need to shift by hand anymore...

 

Does anybody know what the transfer case NP208 means?
I have my eye on a GV unit, wich comes from a NP208 transfer case. now, i see these listed by Ford from 1980 to 1989
My lincoln with C6 is from '79...

Any info greatly appreciated.

 

np208 is a 4x4 transfer case mounted behind 4wd transmissions. GV unit won't work for your car coming from this.

 

so, if i buy this unit, i'd need to buy another adapter for my C6 as well.....?

 

yes. GV has some sort of trade-in program for the adapters. i believe they charge ~$650 USD to swap tranny adapters... I'd send 'em an email or call to find out if the unit will work for you. I have found them quite responsive to such inquiries.

 

I don't own any manual shift vehicles, but at $8.00/gal, I would certainly consider it. A manual trans solves the slippage problem and can provide the OD, all in one reliable package. I know that you have a Lincoln, so a manual seems out of place.

I considered GV for my F100, but dropped the idea due to cost and the reduction of the driveshaft length. The GV unit adds quite a bit of length to a C6. A short drive shaft is prone to U-Joint problems.

 

You may as well get used to the idea of thinking out of the box on auto's and manuals. In considering things to do to the lincoln you are already there. The lincoln was designed for and with the components available in the day. The tremec is a good option given what you want to accomplish. OD auto's are good as well. All the analyzation in the world isnt going to remove the cost factor for you unless you find someone willing to donate to your cause. Pick one choice, then get a nite job

 

oh, it's allowed to cost money allright, but there always has to be max. effort/performance versus money, so money spent, must have the best option installed for such money.
Since i drive cars with manuals all my life, and since 3 years an automatic, i cannot see why the manual is even invented some day...
I don'n want a manual ever anymore, and certainly not in a lincoln

Thanks for thinking with me though, higly appreciated!.
