Well, it's a heck of alot better tranny than the original AOD tranny's ever were. They are considered to be a good trans. I have rebuilt 2 aod's myself and they are both upgraded and running great. One is in my 66 mustang and I love it, but wish I would have gone ahead and used a 4r70 but it requires a controller to adjust the shifts.

You know, when you look up 4R75E's on the internet you find all the same basic parts failing in these transmissions-why the hell won't Ford just upgrade 'em and be done with it? Or should everybody just bank on buying a Toyota whatever, 'cause they'll be the only company left with a complete monopoly on the car/truck market?

My 1999 GMC tranny went at 70k which I thought was crazy and cost me 3 grand to replace. That is one of the reasons I bought a Ford and it failed at 32k. Dodge sucks...whats left?

Japanese.. It stinks but American car companies just don't care about quality. They are all about style and building a good looking car that runs like crap. Its sad but true.

the decision on giving a rental or loaner is up to the dealership, threaten to buy from somewhere else next time and see if they find a way to get you a loaner. tranny flushes are recomended every 30k so u guys with failing trannys might want to do that if u arent already, just some ideas

This worries the hell outta me. I am at 66K with mine and have never had it flushed. Its got a tuner on it and I tow a toy rig with it from time to time. No problems yet. Guess I better get it flushed........ Maybe I'm just lucky.
