I am leaking an awful lot of fluid all of a sudden...I think a little may come from my modified tranny dipstick,but the rest seems to come from the rear of the pan.

The job for tomorow will be to replace the pan gasket, dipstick, filter, and we are going to do a B&M shift kit while we are in there...

sweet sounds like fun..
i spent most of the day rebuilding a damn quadrajet :banghead

 

[Dustin]

carbs....*shiver*

 

[gearrat]

i know dustin but gotta have the other truck running right while the bko is down

 

[Fireguy50]

WOW, putting money into a carb and an AOD in the same post :uke:
I'm not a carb fan, and I'd :iiss on my AOD as soon as funds allow

 

[Crazed]

If i can get a few more miles out of this AOD, that will be a good thing...I have invested a bit too much $$ into this bronco lately...

 

[Crazed]

Shift kit isnt too hard to do is it?

 

[Crazed]

We put in a shift kit while finding the leaks

Had to take off the intake so stuff is easier to move around

Lookit....tranny stuff

getting into it

Lokar dipstick

Then the real fun started

Transfer case plugs should be changed as they are aluminum

1356 on the floor

Getting happy, almost done

Found the leak....tailshaft adapter

Had to replace the motor mounts, I think I broke one pulling out people in the snow...

Drove it around today, no leaks, and the 1-2 shift is much firmer.

:chili:

Not trying to rain on your parade, But the Trans go kit is far supirior.

But hey I do have a B&M Stage 3 in my Mustang's AOD and exept for no overdrive at full throtle I like it.

Glad this worked out for you. :thumbup

 

[Crazed]

I heard that it was,but my local shop couldnt get it, and I was in the middle of it. Maybe I will switch it out later.

 

[gearrat]

cool tim ya got all that done no damn it stop working on it and drive the damn thing

 

[Fireguy50]

Are you using your old drug days turniquet hose for vacuum hose LOL

You didn't replace the motor mounts with the 5.8L swap? :twak

 

[Crazed]

I did....I guess I broke stuff pulling out all those cars last week

 

[Fireguy50]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
you broke the motor mounts in under 3 months :O

you either got some bum mounts or you need to dyno that thing for a magazine (hint - hint :twak )

SAME PICTURE AS ABOVE:
you might want t oupgrade to real wire loom, that cheepO red shizt is melting above the header :brownbag
I have 300F stuff in 1/4 3/8 1/2 & 7/8
Sorry but it's black, no bling bling here.
Even got 1200F fiberglass loom in 3/8 if you got crazy needs :chili:

 

[Crazed]

I redid those looms today, and routed them differently....hopefully they will be ok..

BTW...The 1-2 shift is much harder, but I am not noticing too much change 2-3...havent been to OD yet.

 

[TravisITGuy]

hey crazed , how much was that dipstick and who did you get it from again. mine is leaking as well and is a pain to get to anyways and yours seems to allow for it to be mounted almost anywhere. How involved was that shiftkit install?

later

 

[Crazed]

I got the dipstick from Baxters(the local parts place) it is made from Lokar, firewall mount. much easier to fill it now. The shift kit wasnt too bad, just followed the instructions. A little messt taking off the valve body, but not too bad.

 

[TravisITGuy]

did you have to pull the tranny to install the kit?

 

[Crazed]

No, the tranny stays in, just the pan, filter, valve body and 2-3 accumulator valve come out.

 

[TravisITGuy]

kewl, i just went on to summit to check out that dipstick and it was $60 bucks. thats one spendy dipstick hehe. what did baxter's charge you?
