Auto Trans Upgrade

[stadair]

I had a '90 LX convertible w/an AOD. I never experienced that as you discribed. It was my first Mustang AOD and later I found that the trans ate itself due to the TVS cable being disconnected. I had seen it hanging there in the engine bay, but had no idea as to what it was... Then it was too late. I had the trans rebuilt w/a performance shift kit and loved it!

I will tell you that I asked him to put a shift kit in my car but the valve body he put in the car is completly stock an boy does it shift great now!! If I didn't know better I would swear it had a race car shift kit... I had to call him after I got it home to see exactly what he did. But you are right about the cable. I owned a '88 Crown Vic with a Mustang engine that ate its trans in about 40 miles after the cable disconnected.... That was an expensive education.

The clip is plastic and were known for breaking causing the cable to come unhooked and cooking the trans....they came out with a revised one.

Yep. Had that new type installed after the repair.
