AOD sucks

Rob23 · 01-15-2002, 10:57 PM

My automatic overdrive is so boring. Has anyone here converted their automatic to a T5?

- how much will it cost?
- what do I need?
- how much could I sell this slightly used AOD for?

I'm gonna throw in that T5 and some 3.73s
to liven it up a bit. Actually have some fun

I've done it, and it is WELLLLL worth it

I spent about $600 on parts. $200 T-5+400 in new clutchkit/flywheel/cable/TO bearing/pedals/computer (not needed)/ shifter.

Then I got $425 out of the year old rebuilt AOD. so i actually spent under $200 for the whole swap. can't beat that
I also did all the work myself with the help of a friend who has access to a lift (very nice to have when doing tranny work)

Go by this site and you can't go wrong, complete parts list and step by step instructions.http://members.aol.com/black306/AODT5.html
good luck, later
