I think the main reason why people want them instead of a 4r70w is because you don't need a controller to run them or convert to a manual valve body. They also only made the 4r70w for a few years with a sbf bolt pattern
Thanks for the tear down video of the AOD, I happen to have one I need to go through at some point, very low miles, but TV cable connector at throttle body failed and took out the overdrive band everything else still works well we caught it right away. Curious to see your build video of this trans as to why the stator support along with so many of the other parts get replaced?
I have a semi built aod and it skips in 2nd gear either on the 1-2 shift or if you make a pull in manual 2nd. My trans guy replaced the springs on the diode and it’s better but still does it. Can you go over the upgrades these units need to last? It’s my wife’s truck and the aod has been out at least 7-8 times now lol
I honestly never watch transmission videos. I see enough transmissions all day long. I do have a series on an old cruise o matic that I did a few weeks back that might help you.
Discount on a rebuild !!! heck Yeah !!! I will try and call the shop in the morning.
Jay, That movie scene you were talking about was from "True Lies" a Swarzeneger movie from 1994 ...one hilarious scene.
That was a good one. I remembered it all these years later.
Jay I've been running your transmission's ever since 2009. With zero complaints.
Awesome, we appreciate the business.

Awe bugger - looks like some others beat me to the punch with the answer.
I was surprised anyone knew what I was talking about. Haha
Thanks for the video. Trans builder wanting to venture out.
Im glad it helped. Please subscribe to the channel. I will be doing more AOD stuff in the future.

Ill do more on this unit at some point.
Thanks for the tear down. I know it's a pain, but can you show a build vid. Nobody does a good build series.
I have more AOD videos coming soon.
As a Fox Body guy with a '91 AOD, this was super interesting. I'd like to see more on how you work on it.
Im glad you enjoyed it, I have more AOD videos coming soon.

I will be doing more on these as I have time.
Do you know of a good video for the FMX, Cruise-O-Matic or Merc-O-Matic?

Was it a scene from True Lies
I believe so. Another person said that. I need to watch that movie again.
True Lies is the movie
Thank you! I saw that in the theater back in the day. I need to watch it again sometime. Must have been good for me to remember it.
