any one know where i can buy a cheap AOD tranny to replace...i dont care if its 100% bone stock and no fancy shift kits or anything....its going towards a daily driver to replace my busted AOD in my 5.0...and yes yes yes i know what ull say .. "u should get a lentech, ull regret it" to be honest i wont...i just need it going and sell it to get my 05 GT....im not looking to get a tranny thats pulled from an old 5.0...its gotta be either brand new or remanufacturerd...and i dont want to spend a ton of cash...so no lentech or b/m or tci i guess...id like to spend MAX 700$ ty

 

get on ebaymotors.com and buy a World Class T-5 Manual tranny.

 

I know that ampperformance.com sells the AOD stock for $895 and I am pretty sure that they buy and sell used transmission. That might be a place that you would want to check out. I couldnt tell you how much they would go for but it couldnt hurt to find out. Good luck.

 

You get what you pay for and in the case of an AOD if you cheap out you'll be lucky if it makes it a week. If you remove the one you have yourself you should be able to get a bench job for about $400....and rebuild it, provided it doesn't need a new drum or other parts. I doubt you will find a new one for $700 that is worth anything.

 

88blue...i would NEVER buy from ampperformance...ive heard NOTHING BUT horror stories about them and their services!

 

bump

 

I would get a C-4 Auto with a 2800 stall converter or a World Class T-5 Manual tranny.

 

try www.stangparts.com

 

you mean DOA right, isn't it the Lentech AOD that is supposed to be stronger than a Turob 400 after mods???

As for the T5, you'd have to do a fair amount of parts swapping and some tight underdash work, all in all its not to hard to convert to manual.

 

I have a friend that put a ger in his its running fine. If your selling it anyways then I would say go with it. If it goes out then they will replace it for ya. I am sure you could even talk them into paying for the labor if it did go out.

 

yea i just checked stang parts...and darn....not a bad price for the tranny 450$ w\a 90 day warranty...but...its like 200$ to ship the stupid thing by freight to my house and it takes 6 days...screw that

 

I wouldn't install anything from GER if you gave it to me! Over the past 10 years I have seen nothing but junk come from that company regardless of what it was....buyer beware with anything from GER. If your friend is having good luck then great but it's the first I've ever heard of compared to 4 close personal friends(1 Mustang, 1 Cuda, 1 Camaro and 1 Lemans) having problems and countless others I've heard of.

 

The only under dash work is the clutch pedal set-up. :scratch: I would go for the World Class T-5, or even a stock T-5. If you want a auto get a C-4 and put a 2800 stall converter for it. The C-4 modified will smoke the AOD modified due to the weight and strength. Isn't the Turbo 400 a Chevy Big-Block tranny, Why would u want a GM product? :scratch:

 

::sigh:: i think i may end up doing a 5spd conversion...it may be around the same price...but darn i hate AODs.... lol

 

You only hate AOD's because you've never had a properly built one

 

AODs, are heavy even when they have been built. A near stock C-4 is better, sadly. Buy the World Class T-5, they are strong and tough.

 

Ditto... a 1500 dollar mistake I will never make again... Shoulda known something was up when the receipt mentioned litigation in GER's hometown only. best part was a auto transmission guy took the tranny apart and darn near died laughing

 

I have an AOD out of an 85 licon continetal sitting in my garage. I live in petawawa ontario whear are you

 

really.... I always thought that amp performance was some what of a reliable company... guess I was wrong.
