I killed the AOD (major carnage)

Well, I finally killed the AOD, cracked the case

Pulled the extension housing to replace the gaskets and trans mount.
But it's cracked


When if came off 2 chunks of alum fell on the ground


I looked up and found where they came from




So, now I get to find a 4R70W and waist more money on my Bronco

Re: I killed the AOD (major carnage)

full throttle U-joint failure, driveshaft yoke slamed into the transfercase yoke.
the shock wave broke lots of parts:

entire driveshaft
yoke
transfer case
transmission case

Re: I killed the AOD (major carnage)

gee thanks guys.

I ordered a 4R70W from a 2001 Mountianer with only 36,000 miles for $600 shipped.
Ford got the 4R70W updates completed in 1999, so it should handle big power with simple upgrades

Not sure what computer or tuning software I'll run:
1996-01 Explorer (need to convert TFI to coil pack and OBD-II)
1996-97 F-150 (need to convert to OBD-II)
1994-95 Mustang (need convert A9L to U4P0)

Re: I killed the AOD (major carnage)

I think you should polish the case while it is out...
