another transmission bites the dust
 

For the third time in two years I need another trans. Has anyone else had a problem with their aode? I can't figure out what is causing it (maby I should untie the cinder block from my foot). If anyone has any ideas let me know. The only thing I can think of is that my tranny cooler isn't doing the job and is burning the fluid.
Thanks....

although the /E's have some improvements
over the plain AOD's, they still won't
handle much power/abuse in stock configuration. There are parts in later
model 4R70W's that will retrofit, along
with non-stock control settings and parts like clutches and gearsets etc that will
cure the problems, but a swap to a particular used later model (with upgraded clutches and shift control settings) that has all those good hard parts stock (cheaper than buying those expensive parts separately!)might make sense. I sent you some info I've discovered after quite a bit of research for myself.

Hate to tell you this but a stock AODE can't handle your setup. You need to get a High Performance AODE. Level 10 is a real good one. Lentech Makes a dam good tranny, and so does transmission center. I have the one from Transmission center I love it. without a shiftkit, higher special pressure solenoid your tranmission will just burn up.

Thanks for the help guys. I've got about 12,000mi left on the warrenty now so I've probably got one one more transmission left b4 the warrenty expires. What I was planning on doing was get a larger trany pan, aftermarket cooler, and the trans-go kit. I saw in the year one cataloge a heay duty input shaft, would that be a good idea for me?
Thanks guys
