I got my Art Carr AOD from Super Coupre Performance
Ignore the Mad smilely next to this post. I can't figure out how to delete it.
After 6 weeks Art Carr called yeasterday that they had shipped my Street/Strip AOD (lockup) that was purchased through Super Coupe Performance, with CCX, Conway Central Express. Then later CCX calls and leaves a message on the answering machine saying that I can pickup the tranny anytime. Somehow I miss understood that the tranny would be delivered to my house. I paid almost $150 in shipping and was not expecting terminal delivery. I called Bill today and he explained to me that they might not deliver to certain addresses. The terminal is only about 7 miles away so that's not the problem. I know some other transmission builders will ship at a discount to a truck terminal. Anybody expecting curb service had better get that squared away up front. The transmission came in a black plastic crate made to hold transmissions. It came with a dyno sheet with PSI measurements for every gear selection and WOT shift points. P, R, and N were around 210 psi and OD, D and 1 were around 170 psi. Upshifts were 1-2 4500, 2-3 4000, and 3-4 was 3500.
The invoice said to make sure and use T-Bird linkage (8 o'clock). That got me to thinking that it probbaly came with Mustang linkage. Also there is no TV cable linkage on the tranny. At first I thought there was something wrong there, but that part is just missing so I will have to use the TV linkage arm off of my AOD. It does have T-Bird linkage and the TV linkage part goes on easy. The case is painted completely black and they painted over the neutral safety switch contacts so I will have to scrape that paint off. That must be part of a tranny rebuilders learning requirement, never tape anything off before shooting the Krylon. The invoice says 10" convertor not 9.5" which may be good or bad since I want a 2200-2400 stall.
Anyway all that stuff wont mean a thing if the tranny shifts right and is built right inside. When it's installed I will report back. This is supposed to go in the stock 90 SC.
