AODE tranny help!!

Blues are the best, red's are thinner.

Why does PA use them then?? Are they still strong?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Because they can fit more in the direct without doing any machine work, thus being able to say the have a high clutch count without doing any actual work lol

Do I need to worry? Their Competiton AODE which I have all the internals of is rated at 700 HP..

 

[Jrgunn5150]

No, as long as your shifts are quick and firm, the altos will be ok.

I wouldn't try to put 700 hp to it though, lol. That's right near to point where the splines inside the direct drum itself get ripped out.

I have no plans for that at all...lol I just wanted a trans that would last.

I have a Karl Baumann Valve Body that is set to the max level which is 5. Car shifts nice and hard, even harder at full throttle.

Well, thanks for the info guys, you're the best

I found out today what was causing the high idle speed. It was the TPS! And, quess what? the transmission is working fine! Now the car runs like a chanp. :thumbsup: Who would've ever thought that a $45 sensor would cause such headaxhes!
I'll save up some $ just in case, because I believe this was just a warning from the car. I'll change the oil & filter just to be sure and put the big oil cooler.
