quick question Reply #2 – October 10, 2006, 06:46:59 PM i plan on it, but for now since this is my only car i just want to hook it up and go instead of having to fix it up with a clutch pedal and make a hole in the floor for the shifter, i will save all that for when i have more time Quote Selected

quick question Reply #5 – October 11, 2006, 10:17:25 PM would that be an A4LD tranny in the 3.8 birds? The AOD is a whole different tranny than the A4ld. The AOD is what the 5.0 stangs came with Why would it have problems holding up to a 5.0? Now with the A4ld I could see that it would be weak. They even made the turbo models run less boost with the a4ld. Quote Selected

quick question Reply #8 – October 12, 2006, 09:04:16 PM The V6 AOD is still known to be weaker and it's V8 counterpart... which doesn't have a great reputation to begin with. Especially when it comes to "strength". But you can build it up nonetheless if you choose to keep it in. Personally I would just go ahead with the 5-speed swap. You've got all the parts and what better time to do it than an engine swap. Plus who knows how long that AOD will last. =/ Quote Selected
