Well, the last 2 times I have driven my car the tranny has been getting extremely hot.(compared to normal) I have since changed the filter and the fluid, wich now it shifts a little harder.LOL. No slipping issues or anything working incorrectly. I am really stuck on this situation since I swore that if this tranny went out I would put a manual in the car, but I don't know what would be cheaper and hold up better. I had the AOD rebuilt 7 years ago and have nothing but love for it, but I would love to get my car in the low 11's by putting a 5 speed in the car.I don't think I can put a stock t-5 in the car with the HP I have but I might have to since looking at the tremec prices. I am open to suggestions and if anyone knows what might be wrong with my AOD.
help :punchballs:
Do you have a tranny temp gage, or are you just noticing more heat coming through the floor?
Are you running thru a separate cooler or the radiator ? Make sure your lines aren't clogged or restricted. Also, make sure you don't have a bunch of in the fins.
Yes, I have a tranny temp gauge, and a few others lol. I always know what's going on:D
The tranny cooler is new(20x10) without the radiator and I did blow out the lines that was the first thing I thought of LOL.
How hot is it getting?
longer I drive it the hotter it gets, it usually runs 165 but lately 210 before I have to shut it down don't want to burn it up.

Alot good AOD guys over there
I always thought that 210 was in the acceptable range, what is your outside air temp? Definitely check in over at Clickclick though.
but it never stops climbing and the tranny temp should be close to engine temp(normal engine temp is 180*). I had both fans on trying to cool the fluid, the engine was 155* and the tranny continued to climb.
New; as in the problem started after it was swapped? How/Where is it mounted?
no, I have not done anything new but drive it, I was referring to him saying it might be dirty, and the old one was 7.5x15
