I am not sure about a rebuild kit for that thing, maybe take it to a reputable shop and tell them what you want out of it and get a quote. I beat my AODE to death but change the filter in it about every 15k and it takes the abuse of a HCI Kenne Bell engine with no issues. Trans has 233k on it. I know quite a few guys who have destroyed these things and it seems regular filter changes are key to making them last.

my car's AOD was screwed when i bought it... but i didnt really care (5-speed swap) and then one day i was driving down the highway and BAM overdrive went out and it was just revving up and shit ... im in the works of the 5-speed right now
