T-5 To Auto Swap

86GT · 10-27-2003, 03:33 PM

In an effort to become more consistent at the track I'm gonna swap my T-5 out. The debate I'm having is whether to use a C-4 or an AOD. I have both. I enjoy some street driving, highway use, etc. But what about durability. The car traps 109, runs mid 12's, and I'll be spraying it. I also only have the MAC longtubes, and H-pipes for the t-5, so I'm guessing I'll have to get those sold and get the AOD stuff right?

I swapped my Tremec out for an AOD for the same reason, plus when I add the blower, I won't have to worry about missing a gear. If you go the AOD route make sure you have it built with quality parts. I put an Art Carr AOD in mine and love it. I manually shift it so,it like a stick without the clutch.

Check my sig for my time in NA form,, I am still agthering parts for the blower to be installed....

As for the headers/ H-pipe you might have to swap thise if you go with the AOD, but not with the C4.....
