Question what do you suggest?

hello everybody... I have a 95 F150 4X4 with a lil built up 302... the tranny i have is an AOD-E with a B&M shift plus, and heavy duty clutches... I cooked it! haha what do you suggest i do? I need a stall for the cam i have chosen but the cam is rated for a 2800 to 3000 stall, the only problem with havn the AOD-E is when it shifts into overdive with that high of a stall, i was told it will go into limp... what should i do?! get rid of the AOD-E and throw in an AOD? E4OD? and what should i do for a build? I was quoted at for my AOD-E with a stage to shift kit, 2600 stall, and HD clutches for around $2200... would that be strong enough?

Beats me, I always give these links, suggest you read the propaganda and consult with a supplier. Seems the 4R70W guts in the AOD case along with selected beefier bits is the way to go. Not sure on the TC for your application.

AOD Transmission from PATC, AOD Transmissions

TCI - Ford AOD, AODE and 4R70W

AOD Performance Products - Baumann Electronic Controls

$6000? Go to the TCI site, they quote prices there. $2200 or so, $3400 for an E4OD IIRC. I'll get you two AODs for $6000......

I went through 3 "pro built trannys " when i was draggin. then i went with the tci street fighter and a 3200 stall, in the 700r4. I know a chebby tranny, but i raced many seasons with the tci and no probs they get my business right outa the gate now. I did have one problem with a TC cracken and ruint a tranny. They paid for all new and the r&r. so I feel they are a stand up company with great products and customer service.

Well, you get to throw in:

--clutch and brake pedal assembly

--clutch master cylinder

--new flywheel & clutch

--possibly different starter

--trans itself: 4x4 model of the ZF from behind a 300 or 351w in an F250/350.

--maybe move tc and crossmember, change drive shafts.

ZF not a performance trans. Low first, decent 2-3-4 spacing, 5th is OD.

If it's an F150 parts truck, and is OEM, it is a Mazda trans. F250 and up for the ZF. Mazda trans might be iffy in your application. Ratios good, strength ?
