The mystical, magical, and mysterious AOD output shaft December 21, 2008, 09:53:21 PM I'm curious about my own AOD output shaft because I've read and been told by others that if I have an 87 or older output shaft I nee d to replace it because: 1 There's not enough lube to the planetary gears, 2 High gear ratios (>3.08) will burn it up, 3 if it isn't replaced I'll most likely burn in hell, 4 It doesn't need to be replaced, those idiots on the internet have no idea what they're talking about and if they do they just want to scare u into buying a new part from them.So my question(s) are: Will an 87 and under shaft lead to certain doom? And if so why? If this is true how do I go about identifying which one I have? 7 drive teeth, 8 teeth etc etc. Quote Selected

I've given Dan of silverfox racing a call so I'm waiting to hear back from him. Although this picture I found seems to confirm that I do have the correct shaft (middle in pic), but I would like to talk to the guy who took it to verify. Quote Selected

Does it mean DOOM, not really, but it does mean lower reliability...considering the shaft you need is $15 maybe Quote Selected
