i have a 90 SC , i believe that the overdrive band has failed because it neutrals out on the 3-4 shift to od.. and will not pull in 4thgear.. im wondering if there is a band adjustment for it or am i looking at a rebuild?
2ndly ive found that there are 2 dayco torque converters for the aod
F52 (high stall) for 6cyl,& 302
F52LS(low stall) for 351w.
in the past i owned an 84 f-150 w/3:55 gears! where i installed a 351w & aod police interceptor from an 86 police crownvic, at that time i installed a new F52LS converter! 2 weaks prior id pulled my dads chevy fullsize van home and the truck strained like hell with the 302.. but after swapped engines and torque converter.. the next week i borrowed a friends car trailer it was a tandem axle steel trailer with steel reinforced wood floor and i used it to haul an 84 corvette. id say the combination of both weighed probably about as much as the chevy van did if not more. and i pulled the vette on the trailer in drive 70-75 mph (3000-3400) rpms all the way back about 30 miles
and didnt seem to give a dam about the weight though the heat gauge climbed almost 3/4 .. does anyone have an idea as to how the supercoupe would perform with the lo stall converter . i guess what im asking would it come out of the hole better and be quicker off line ..
3rd and finally when replacing the new trans im going to install the transgo AOD-HP shift kit,HD2-3 accumulator, and the Superior A+ overdrive servo anyone try any of these products yet if so please tell me what i can expect as 4 as shift feel especially from the a= servo.
i know im asking alot but i really value all input and replies ..
