3 more questions for all the AOD nuts out there (and thanks in advance guys)
1. Can I paint a transmission?
2. What's the accepted method of removing the front pump plate (that black plate up front). The 86 AOD plate is stuck quite nicely. Is it possible to tap at the tailshaft maybe after dropping the valvebody? I assume it's not torchable
3. The 86 AOD has the rod type TV. The 87 AOD has the whole spring loaded contraption of a TV assembly that bolts to the EFI TB. Which would you guys use if given the choice and hooking to a holley? Would the marquis valve body be a lesser one compared to a mustang's?
Thanks guys!
P.S. disassembly an AOD is outright fun compared to the horror of trying to disassemble a T5
