another transmission bites the dust

[macx]

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.
