Hmmm, as a person who prides himself about having almost every AOD problem know to mankind, I cannot say that I have ever experienced this problem.XR7 Dave said:Why would an AOD have gear whine in OD. It's really loud around 55mph but barely noticable at 70. What would cause that noise?
FWIW, I have a drive line noise which could be called a whine.. (but more of a groan when coming to a stop) which after a series of checks I deduced was the pinion bearing. It varies with vehicle speed and is most noticable around 35mph. I have a new/used differential smelling up my garage awaiting installation.XR7 Dave said:Why would an AOD have gear whine in OD.

Haha, very funny.CMac89 said:Wow!! That is the first time I have seen the "XR7 Dave" as a technical question .

btw, just finished the AOD yesterday. So, now it's time to put it in the car along with the engine.

I would have to have everything in front of me to shows you,but you can tell what doesn't work. I know you have to use the stamped steel direct drum and I think that center support, but it may be the same. I am actually thinking about using the 4r70w shafts in one to eliminate the direct drive shaft and run no lockup as a cheaper alternative to the 1 piece input shafts. I am not sure if the shaft will work or not.MikeKanterakis said:like the center support and that little shaft with the gears at the bottom that goes into the planetary? or is it more complicated than that? less?
Of that I have no doubt. I may just ask him next time I see him. On another note, anybody want an AOD with a shift kit and an Art Carr heavy duty rebuild kit? Whines slightly in OD and shifts into drive at 15mph, but other than that it's great!MarksM said:I'd bet JW could give you an answer.
