coop the b&m kits are like 40.00 in summit and the next step is trans go and there over 130.00? i was told to make sure it has a metal plunger?

the last aod-e i did was the transgo it was in my 1994 soon there after it lost o/d, i am not blaming the kit at all tho,one of the accumulator springs were broken already before the install. then i went to a lentech aod-e

I will vouch for B&M. I recently installed one and very straight forward. Just sucks when you are installing one laying on the ground.

I found it through the local parts store. It was $35 or so.

this was my thought as well i was and still am leaning towards trans go

I did the B&M in my low mile Mark 7 a couple years back, trans had like 80k I think and it shifted great for like 2 days and then it just went back to stock shift characteristics. Couple months later I got stuck in a snow bank and beat'er till she bit the big green weenie.

Got a $100 152k mile 92 XR7 trans that shifts out nice in there now and I'm leaving it be. Up to 90k miles on the car now.

mine shifts just want it to hit the gears harder and more regular than it does now a t-5 swap is what i want to do but my wife may want to drive it so it has to stay auto

I have used Baumans in both my AOD and my AOD-E. I like them. Easy to install, and if you need help you can call them and they will actually talk to you and try to help you. I have also used that expensive Transgo package. It works well, but not worth it IMO. Most shift kits will alow you to 'tune" just how hard of a shift you want. From mild to harsh.

Check out baumans sight, there is a lot of good info there.

Isn't that the point?

When I got my divorce my ex-wife tried taking my '74 Nova cause I got the appartment and the truck. They told her no cause she couldn't even drive the thing with the 4-speed and clutch I put in it. LOL

Go with the T-5 swap. If anything for added insurance down the road.
