AOD Vs T-5 (need some help)

[fiveohpatrol]

well after driving my car as an AOD for over 2 years then swapping the T-5 in, I would NEVER own another daily driver auto.
Maybe if I eventually own a 9 or 10 second car, then it'll have a lentech or a built C4

So after reading that you gotta know I'mgonna reccomend going the T-5 route. You can pick up a rebuild kit from D&D for about $150 or a more complete kit from Hanlon for a little over $200.
Then if you gonna have a pro do it for you then I'd say you'd pay another $250-350 or so to have it done.

what did the T-5 come out of? I don't think 84 mustangs came with T-5's, i thought they were 4speed manuals, maybe im wrong though

As far as the AOD, I had mine rebuilt by a small shop in town for under $400 (parts/labor/custom shift kit made by him) The tranny held up great until I swapped in the T-5. The AOD was still going very strong, even after a BUNCH of 1-d-1 shifts and alot of track time.
