I have a stock 92 GT (bought it new, never modified it). It has about 85k miles on it, and a couple of problems. First, after driving for 30-45 minutes, when you stop the engine bay gives off a strong sweet smell. I thought it might be antifreeze, but it does not seem to be losing any. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Secondly, my AOD Overdrive band went out. Since the tranny has so few miles on it, I would like to just get the OD band replaced with a HD one but all the local shops want to do a full rebuild. Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to just replace the band and how much it should cost? I would really appreciate any help! If I need to rebuild, I would prefer just getting a new HD AOD if anyone can recommend a good one (i.e. Lentech, B&M, etc..).

Finally, any good bolt on power upgrade suggestions would be welcomed. I am a novice when it comes to cars, but am handy.

Thanks!
