AOD issues Reply #30 – June 10, 2010, 09:44:29 AM Quote from: 88CougarGT;324624You have to understand the basics of Automatic Transmissions to understand this one. At the factory, Ford adds a measured amount of black magic. As the trans goes down the road, the black magic rubs off into the sludge on the bottom of the pan. The only way to replenish it is to take a sacrificial bath in ATF. Failing this, there is no known cure.-Z Basically if a fluid change causes problems, the tranny was dieing anyway... In a tranny that the fluid is very dark(burned) with little or no transparency, 99.9% chance you're wasting your time... Quote Selected

The fluid in mine is burning so bad, you can smell it after you park the car. And, its not leaking. Its just stinking. ha haThe thing is totally fried.After I get the new one in, I'm going to attempt to take this one apart and subsequently try to figure out what the hell is wrong with it, and then sell it for s!:D Quote Selected
AOD issues Reply #32 – June 20, 2010, 11:30:13 PM Well, the tranny finally let go today. I've still been driving the cougar cause I haven't had a chance to tag the tbird, and on my way back home today, it just decided to finally give completely up.I turned onto a side road, and when I gave it some gas, it lurched real hard, and then just let go completely. Engine shot up somewhere around 5000 and then after that, no matter what gear the shifter was in, the tranny was in neutral. It makes some sort of weird whining noise now, and no gear will engage. At all.Well, time for a new one for sure now.Here's pic of the poor thing dead on the side of the road until we towed it home...with a pull strap of course! Quote Selected
