They are absolutely NOT strong.
Unless your content spending 2K-3K every other year and never go quicker than 14's....keep it.
But you will not see most automatic cars w/ an AOD....they use c-4's
If you keep it...along with all the other stubborn AOD user's(and i was one too...)
You will soon regret it.
Learn your lesson before you waste a ton of money. I wish i did.

NOS Notch: You obviously should have saved some of that hard earned cash, you spent on bogus transmission work, and bought yourself a clue...and if there was any change leftover, some correct information.
I run nothing more than a STOCK rebuilt 1992 AOD out of a Stang, with a LenTech Street Terminator Lock-Up valve body, and a Precision Industries Stallion Lock-Up converter rated at 3800rpm stall speed. Total investment: $1500. It's been in my car, which is much quicker, faster, and evidently more dependable than yours, for three years now.
I'm sorry that three seperate times, someone took advantage of your shortcomings, and sold you supposedly bad parts, trannys, etc. I know that people like you, aren't as intelligent as me, and therefore don't take the time to check all of the facts, and gathering information, before spending alot of money on something that will surely handle whatever you can throw at it. Heck, when my car was as slow as yours, I couldn't even break a T-5, muchless the bullet-proof AOD setup like I have now.
The weakest link is not the AOD itself, but the small inner input shaft and the OD band. Overdrive isn't, nor was it ever meant to be, a gear to be "putting the power" to. It is meant for highway/higher speed cruising. Also, my 2.40:1 1st geared AOD has 60 footed several times in the 1.55-1.58 range. My AOD is strong. I am content, as I have a total investment of $1500, have had it for three years, and have never had to put another penny into it. Best of all, I have never gone SLOWER than a 12.0 with it. That was three years ago, when I first installed it. I'm rather confused as to why you tried to start a flame war with me, but....
Next time you want to have a battle of knowledge with me....please ARM yourself!
