And was looking for a clutch pedal,,,, Fred No Red for me Fred! Although she is a Black Cherry. Going to keep he...

Had a AOD in my car for a few years. I rebuilt it myself, and I must have messed something up internally, because I could never get the TV valve to work properly, it always wanted to shift early. Messed with for quite awhile, until it started puking oil out and I swapped it for a T5. Worked well on...

I looked at the add and saw that the AOD pictured is out of a 4x4 explorer. The rear tail piece is different and I suspect the rear out put shaft is different also. I looked up 1992 Explorers and it seems the only engine put in those was a V6. So I'm not sure that this one would even bolt up to a 2...

It does help. Thanks Tom

I found this AOD fairly close to home. https://classifieds.castanet.net/detail ... n/3368918/

Being early 90's I wasn't sure if it would be a good candidate.

I won't be racing this machine, just cruising around and having fun.

Thanks

Mike

Hey All Really appreciate your contributions to this forum. I have learned a bunch and hope to learn some more. Posted last spring with some heat related issues, with your help I completed a new Rad/Fan and some proper gauges have also been installed. I have learned a bit more about my car and feel ...

Hi Rocket Yes after the first time driving. Exactly what you said. Reverse out off a parking spot and it will die. This will continue for the rest of the day at each stop. Drive or Reverse?? Idle set at 800 idle currently. I had it set higher (1100) but it just hit harder into gear and stalled also....

Hey Fred

Yup! I am in Summerland BC. I would come visit but I am not sure she can take those passes yet!

I completed this: 180 thermostat 5 Blade Flex Fan 3/4" off Rad 16lb Rad Cap New Radiator 3 row copper Dad put a big rear end in the Comet so at 60mph I am at 3400 rpm. I am sure this is no...

Thanks Guys Replaced the Cap and Thermostat this morning and it has made a big difference. There is still a bit of overflow after a good run out on the highway. I will hopefully get the gauges installed tonight so I will have a better idea of what is going on. My guess is a new rad will be on it way...

Thanks for the reply Rocket! I am not totally sure about the bore size. Just going off of old stories.....My Dad had everything done professionally back in the 90's and then the Comet sat for a long period of time unfortunately. Between my brother and I we are trying to figure out what we actually h...
