T5 VS AOD

[Mr 5 0]

For a mildly modded street car, the T-5 is the only way to go. Lowered et's and the fun of total power control are a huge incentive.

Yes, you can beef up an AOD, get a high-stall converter, a shift kit, a cooler and 4.11 rear gears and probably run equal to a T-5's et's with more consistancy - but less fun.

An AOD-to-T-5 conversion will run around $2,000. if you go with good/new stuff (highly recommended). Close to what making the AOD competitive to a stick would cost. Your call.
