AOD about to enter the world of Bronco?

Hey I finally have some kind of progress to report and now have a question... I am trying to run down the adapter to connect the aod to the d20 and have this to ask... HOW??? what do I have to do to install the new tail shaft? anyone know? I will get pics on here asap with this exciting development for me if anyone is intrested... YEAY ME!!!;D ;D ;D

The best thing to do, is take it to a tranny shop, and have them do it...You have to completely take apart the trans to change shafts...DON'T DO LIKE I DID, and try to do it yourself...There is no room for error in an AOD auto tranny...
It ended up costing me a grand to get the tranny rebuilt, with the new tailshaft, (cause I thought I could do it myself) when it could have only cost me 100.00 to have a tranny shop do it in the first place...Lesson learned

Im definitely not a tranny guy. I let the pros deal with that stuff. Ive only rebuilt one with a pros help and felt like a fish outa water.

I did the same and and took it to a tranny shop. I also bought the AOD from him that he beefed up for me and assembled the adapter to it for $650.00 total. Some things I I leave to the experts. Although I just recently installed the whole assembly, (engine, trans, adapter and transfer case ) so I don't know how it all works. Still have alot to do.
