I'm thinking of buying a AOD for $300, the guy says it's out of a 93 with 50,000 miles and has a shift kit in it. He said theres a detent cable(? he said cable that goes to TB, sounds like throttle pressure cable) something thats broke, i'll find out more about that in a latter. How do I know it's an AOD and not an AODE or even the 4 cyl (A4LD or something)? Can I visably tell? I plan on buying a good manual VB, I don't think they make reverse pattern? I don't know how the OD will work with it, does the "electronic OD delete" mean that I can push a button to turn it on and off? Because it still is a three speed shifter right? Speaking of shifters, which one? I know the hammer fits, but I hear the ratcheting shifters are sloppy and the only gate shifter I seen that will fit is the B&M pro stick (are there any others?). I also don't want to tear up my console, so what is the best fitting shifter?
