5.0Pony · 12-17-2003, 12:36 PM

Hey guys, im not totally a Noob

. my other sn is 5.0 Pony, but tht account is messed up. Anyway, my transmission is slipping and its an AOD. Now i was looking at Red Eagle rebuild kits, with kolene steel and kevlar clutches and plates. I want to keep my aod, I have never touched an automatic before, i can rebuild a manual. Do i attempt a rebuild on the AOD or do i do a t5 swap? What do you guys think?

I would rebuild it, i rebuilt my AOD in my 85 a long time ago. I also have a 88 gt AOD in my garage I need to get rid of if your interested (I did the T5 swap) Nothing wrong with it at all, worked great when I removed it. Let me know.

Is it that hard to rebuild one??? It is ok now, i can drive it just fine, it just slips sometimes. Maybe ill go get one at a salvage yard and pratice on it.

USMC302 how do you like belle chase? How long you been there?

USMC302 · 12-18-2003, 09:18 AM

I love Belle Chasse, however I work on the West bank at NSA, which I cannot wait to go back into the Fleet Marine Force. I have one of the new houses that were just built, and my own garage, here's my lil project that was running strong and looking good just a month and a half ago in the garage.

USMC302 · 12-18-2003, 09:20 AM

Forgot to mention,,,2 years in Jan, I've been to Gulfport Dragway as well as Hattiesburg dragway, but still love the Houston track the best.

Yea what is that Comnavresfor, something like that. I use to be at NAS JRB down belle chase highway (926 fighter wing). Used to live on General DeGalle and hang out at Vinnies sports bar.

Never been to the Gulfport track nice? My in-laws don't live far from hub city though.

I have some family out around Houston (deerpark), I have herd about how nice the tracks are there.

yeah, it's MARFORRES, I liked both tracks, I mean not too many local tracks anyway, so I take what I can get. Happy holidays!
