Just curious Jay, you mention the nickel plated seal rings being better to help with case wear and I am curious if anyone makes them out of Teflon like what is used in many other transmission locations such as C4-5 stator etc. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and experience with us all here on TH-cam, Subscribed and always waiting and watching your videos. I also have had very good luck with your C4 Transbrake kit and years ago a RMVB kit I purchased from you.
I have never seen Teflon rings for that location. I'm thinking Teflon doesn't work well on aluminum because if that happen to pick up debris they can score the aluminum and that's why they don't use them in that location. Just my guess though.
Broader performance thanks for your professionalism it helped me a lot on rebuilding my 89 aod Also for 80SFORDGUY There is this guy Nick’s transmission that has a series on disassemble and he almost finish to edit the assemble on a 89 ford aod transmission The tittle of the videos is FORD AOD AUTOPSY Pretty knowledgeable guy too and also don’t forget to subscribe and share to all these rebuilders It is the way to thank them that we appreciate their videos Also Nick he always answer any questions on comments too. Good luck to everybody and Bless
Jay, you mentioned often in the video about there being many videos about rebuilding the early 79-92 FIOD/AOD transmissions. The fact is unless there putting the words FIOD or AOD in there descriptions most of the videos are tear down videos. Many tear down or quote rebuild videos are of the later 93-04 AODE/4R7xx transmissions! Many don’t cover the common failure points or specific wear points to be aware of when inspecting. Actual FIOD/AOD rebuild videos are usually short pieces together and don’t explain as you do the specifics of the proper assembly. If you can please sir do a video on the actual rebuild process of a 79-92 FIOD/AOD transmission.
I honestly don't watch videos on rebuilding transmissions at the end of my day so maybe I'm wrong about there being videos on the AOD. Maybe at some point I can do more of a build on them if I ever get help with the filming. I do recommend if you are wanting good info on them to check out www.badshoeproductions.com
@@BroaderPerformance Thanks for the shout out, Jay. I'm glad you mentioned the direct drum spline problem. That spline push back is a big concern and the recessed input shaft will somewhat restrict those four lube passages on the drums nose. I point out the spline problem in my AOD repair video and show how to install the Sonnax spiral clip ring on the input shaft to save a damaged cast drum in a pinch. You have to cut relief slots on the drums nose, so the clip ring doesn't cover those four lube passages. That AOD has been in one of my TBirds for 15 years with no issues however, I agree with Jay in saying replacing the drum with a later steel unit is the best option. The Sonnax ring works but with the shafts new outward position, there is less drum to shaft spline contact. Therefore, it seems to me, if you have damaged drum splines, installing a newer steel drum is the way to go.
@@BroaderPerformance all good ur trying I subscribe to you, even though I didn’t see your face lol I still like to learn stuff and know what’s out there what’s new and what’s not and how to do stuff
Looks like another worthless video. Ring wear in the governor ring area is caused by worn case bushing and worn extention housing bushing. Split Teflon rings work better, seal better, and don't cause wear grooves.
We used to call Sealed Power and speak to a sales engineer. Give them bore diameter and ring thickness. We never threw out anything. Used to bore AOD worn cases and install a steel sleeve replacement bushing. I think Mac made those too. Could have been rings from a different trans or rings from a rack and pinion. We always stamped OS on the part. Seems like 2004R used to wear put something and we had old Dynaflow rings to replace after it was bored.
Great video! You always do a good job explaining things that others don't.
Thank you. Im glad it helped.
Why wouldn’t you mill ..001 to 010 off shaft?
That is not nearly enough but I suppose you could trim the output shaft back to buy you more time. I still prefer my method.

Over half of these have have those bolt marks since 1980
If not more. Haha

I tell my nephew all the time. You can use the internet as intended educate yourself or breed fools . You have 3 choices! Thanks
Good point !
You should show your face, so I know we’re watching who the whole time just saying
Sorry about the camera malfunction. Stay tuned for the great reveal.

Would you like to tell us where you are getting Teflon rings for the case area? I have never seen any. Have you ever built an aod before??
