Ford AOD Transmissions
|
Some AODs came with a three-disc reverse clutch drum (right), while others had a four-disc drum. Since this clutch pack is also used in the Street Terminator Lockup’s Third-gear powerflow, the four-disc version is always substituted. This clutch drum is then machined to accept a Torrington bearing in place of a factory thrust washer, and drilled to better evacuate tranny fluid and a 3-4 upshift or 3-2 downshift. It should be noted that four discs in the reverse drum provide 15 percent more clutch area than six in the direct clutch. Finally, to eliminate sprag failure, the intermediate sprag retainer snap ring gets tossed in favor of a Shift Technology Products spiral ring. View Related Article
