I have a AOD. To get the tranny in good running condition I feel it will cost in the 2000 to 2500 range. I bought a lentech VB. I need a TC and a tranny rebuild. I can get a TC and put it on with the VB. Dirty Dogs TC looks to be around 550 plus another 50 to make it a little stronger. Don't know what a tranny rebuild would cost.
The tranny ~~~~~ OK but with 140k she is tired to say the least.
I have always been a 5spd guy but for a DD I am thinking auto thats why I bought it. Now I have second thought. I kinda miss shifting. I have never driven a proper AOD setup and I have a feeling it will be completly different than it is now so I might just love it.
How much would it cost in parts and how much labor to complete in hours for the conversion? Just a ball park estimate as I am trying to way costs between the two options.
Has anyone done this and if so was it straight forward or did it open a big can of worms. If it cost's more I will stick with the AOD.
Trying to be sensible and follow other members advice and experience. Tired of wasting money with my stupid ideas!
