The Ford AOD transmission has proven itself as a reliable performer with factory and mildly upgraded performance applications. However, a few upgrades are necessary if you’re looking to move it into the high performance level. To help drivers achieve those high performance numbers, the drivetrain experts at TCI® have introduced the 1980-’93 Ford AOD Ultimate Master Overhaul Kit.
Designed for heavy-duty strength against the stresses of higher horsepower applications, this kit features premium-grade Alto Red Eagle friction clutches and Kolene-treated steel clutches. The Alto Red Eagle friction clutches increase the “holding force” or coefficient of friction, an empirical property of contacting materials, while the Kolene-treated steel clutches disperse heat equally among the frictions and steels. This combination of clutches provides higher performance and durability under higher horsepower applications, and the cohesive lining allows the transmission a better chance of longevity. One final feature is the Kevlar overdrive band to improve the “apply and release” functions while reducing wear.
This master overhaul kit is ideal for any high performance street or all-out racing application that aims to match the stresses of high horsepower engines with bullet-proof drivetrain durability.
