Made the decision....Going with the Lentech!! - Page 2

I don't know about that Mach.. When I got my car back it would run ok unless I got into the throttle alot. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I paid a visit to my tranny guy and he found that the cable wasn't connected to the tb. It ran, but it didn't run that good. Anyhow, a quick fix and it ran much better after that(still not great).

Thinking back I now remember ordering the PI Stallion and going with the lockup because the woman on the phone(really seemed to know what she was talking about) said that it would only lock up in od and I thought "Well why the hell would someone order a nonlock up for an aod?!?". After calling lentech they informed me that the lockup locks up in 3rd as well and that was why 2nd was a raped ape and 3rd sucked. After the conversion to nonlockup, 3rd pulls DANG hard too

.. down side: burns gas like you would not believe. Too bad I couldn't get the mileage and performance

I guess you have to get the whole tranny to get the cool mid-3rd lockup??? Anyone?

yeah, Im with ya man, I dont have lockup eithier, and I have 4.10s. It sucks down gas BIG TIME!

Thats really strange about the TV cable. I know a few people who have burnt it up when the gromet in the TB cracked or they left it disconnected, including myself. And it even states in all the ford service manuals and other AOD related articles you can find just about anywhere, including the Haynes overhaul book that immediate clutch burnup will occur when driving with cable disconnected.

Well.. my clutches are heavy duty bro. When I got the wide gear ratio the tranny guy replaced the bands with some from a patrol car, maybe that made a difference.
