I had more pics, but lost them since I didn't have a memory stick back then 
There were Benzes, Bimmers, Saabs, and the new Bullit to name a few.

just as a general thing, how much does tranny fluid run?
I've got a pretty bad hangup in the 1st to 2nd shift in my jeep, wondering if that might fix it, it kinda puzzles me, cuz the other shifts are smooth as silk

Change the oil and filter if you don't remember the last time you did it.
As for how long it lasts, well, i'm not really sure, but the 99 Mitsu Galant my dad is working on I think it has never seen a trans oil change

I made another quick check to the car and I'm not really sure what's causing the high idle speed bec if I umplug either the tps or the iac the idle goes down.

According to the reply's on the thread I have on sn95forums by tranny builders, it looks that rebuild time has come to my old AODE. Time for some tranny mods , but until I have some moolah 
I'm expecting to receive a bonus on March, about $500, but I'll try to gather some of the parts for the rebuild before that if I can. My dad knows a guy that rebuilds transmissions and it's pretty good at it. He fixed the tranny of the 90 E250 my dad owned some years ago and it never failed.
Some of the parts that have to be upgraded are:
99 up stub shaft
improved mechanical diode
4r70w shift kit
big trans cooler
improved pressure solenoid
blue clutch packs
and other thingies I don't quite remember. As I've read, with those mods my rebuilt tranny should hold up to 400hp

I found this in another forum about 86-95 Mustangs:
Mine has 3.27's

M=2.73:1
Z=3.08:1
E=3.27:1
Obviously your door tag has to be intact to beable to get the info this way.
Hope this helps some people that always wondered what rear gear ratio there car originally came with or still currently have.
If you dont have either of those, jack up the car, mark a line on the rear tire it dose not matter which side, then make a mark on the driveshaft, rotate the tire one full turn while counting how many times the driveshaft goes around.

That's true. Thanks for the good wishes. I'm planning to ad a higher stall speed tq converter, about 2500-2800 stall speed. Many auto guy's I've spoken with say that's the most commonly used spec for use on the street. I saw some at the Autozone web site, but they don't list the stall speed, just high or low I'll just have to contact them.
I'll just have to contact them.

Wow, this thread went down the gutter too. This sucks. I'll try to make a quick update of what happened to the car in these past 8 months.
As from the post above, the car was experiencing transmission problems due to a bad TPS. That was it!
Later down the road the alternator died and was rebuilt twice, bec. on the first rebuild it started to smoke
I also removed the smog pump and installed a new AC compressor and recharged the system only to find that I also needed to replace the evaporator
so it doesn't cool much 
It also developed a coolant leak coming from the timing chain cover. While fixing it, three bolts broke, and the power steering pump was replaced too.
I managed to fix the last CEL it had about the EGR. It was due to a broken vac. hose.
Recently, I played a little with the ignition timing and Pit felt like a new version of itself
I also installed a couple of small transmission oil coolers I had laying around.
Other stuff to do;
re-upholster or replace the front seats and drivers side seat frame
rebuild the front suspension
shocks & struts
subframe connectors
rear LCAs
shift kit
fix the AC
repair/replace some interior bits & pieces.
That's all, for now... Stay tunned!
