Electric tranny swap
Is there an electric OD auto tranny that has a manual valvebody available? I'm wanting an OD tranny in my 67 f100 with a 302, and the jury is still out on the AOD. From what i've read, half like it alot, half think that its crap. Just looking for other options. The manual valvebody will keep me from having to retrofit all the electric stuff into my old truck, if i understand it correctly....
Thanks

Theres some links to whet your appetite. The Aod isn't too bad if you don't abuse
it with 500hp and towing like a maniac while leaving the fluid in until it smell like a
house on fire. A temperature gauge for the tranny any transmission will ensure it
lives a happy life. Since the fluid's life gets cut in half for like every 10(or20) degrees
above 170 degrees!! So in a perfect world the fluid will last say 75,000 miles but get it
up to 250* and that goes out the window even if it was only at 250 for 5 minutes.
A good ovrsized cooler is a given and do not reuse a cooler from an old tranny unless
you flush the crap out of really well. Using a quality fluid and keeping an eye on it
will ensure it does it's job. Pull out the dipstick and let it drip onto a clean paper towel
then wipe it off and put it into a bottle of new fluid and let that drip about the same
amount of fluid onto a different spot, You should see the new fluid spread out(1-3") and look nice and pink while the old fluid just sits there in a 1/2" spot and looks dark. Doing
that every motor oil change will give you an idea of the life left in the fluid.
