I finish up the Ford AOD, putting everything back into the case then valve body assembly, filter, ext housing and done. Along the way, I show you how to:
- Check and adjust intermediate clutch clearance
- Set front end play
- Measure for Low Reverse Servo travel

Another amazing rebuild video from Nick But this time a complete 110 % detail series Disassemble Inspection of hard parts that need replacement Assemble of individual hard parts,drums clutches and tips as how to improve a better lubrication from the tedious valve body And a complete professional assembly of the old school aod transmission I love it I know many young people and old people like me will take advantage of these videos I hope one day you can do an old Ford A4LD for old rangers explorers and Aerostar vans Nick could you post the OTC seal drums protector part number OTC case Bar I have the cheapo blue seal protectors and they are junk Sometimes eBay they have them for a good price I know otc rotunda or miller brands are expensive but I hate the blue ones lol Keep it up Nick and thanks for sharing your knowledge Bless

@nickstransmissions 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the kind words, Adolfo! Appreciate it. The blue seal protectors are definitely junk, they only seem to last one or two transmissions before they warp/break..I'll reply later with the OTC part numbers for the factory lip seal tools and the gauge bar.

great clear and easy to follow vids...ive done auto trans in school and a few since.. great to watch these vids to refresh innmy head...i have a question ...where cab i find an aod air test plate...ive searched w the part number you stated no luck...any ideas? i found one for 300$...i can make them on my cnc if i had a template

@nickstransmissions Месяц назад

Hi @bugeyeV8, thank you for watching. If you have a gasket set and can match up your feed orifices with those on the gasket to your work piece, you should be able to make one....I see them on eBay from time to time but they're not commonly available, hence the price. They used to be listed all the time but folks have snatched them up in recent years...

@josecarreira8934 5 месяцев назад

Pretty finicky transmission to do, and a fair few tools needed. Towards the end sounded like the HARLEM GLOBE TROTTERS outside.

@nickstransmissions 5 месяцев назад

Yep, very finicky - I liken them to the 200-4R, very similar in terms of fussiness. If you watch enough of my videos, you'l hear all sorts of weird stuff in the background including someone crashing into a parked car down the street, lol. Thank you for watching, Jose!

@edwardhrvoich1786 5 месяцев назад

Excellent work as always Nick ! On the T80L-77030-A servo tool - might I as you to measure the overall thickness of the movable "feet" that sit in the snap ring groove ?. I would like to see how it compares to the servo cover thickness. I have often wondered what this dimension is on the tool.

@nickstransmissions 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the kind words, Edward...I'll see if I can get into the shop in the next couple days to measure and respond back here when I can.

Hi @nickstransmissions great tips on this video! Where did you get that case holder for the transmission stand? Was hoping to use one in a 4R70W. Thanks!

Hi Frank, thank you for watching...I bought stand and fixture on eBay then had my machinist make me an adaptor sleeve out of stainless cylinder bar stock to allow them to work together.

I watch one and two Nick. Impressed with cleanliness precision. Great job. Unfortunately I live in Virginia I wish I could find somebody that I could rely on such workmanship

@nickstransmissions 2 месяца назад

Thank you, John - appreciate the kind words. I think Fed Ex charges $350-450 to ship via Freight one-way which is a bit much, unfortunately. If it was roughly half that, I'd say just ship it to me for overhaul but it may or may not be worth it to you at those rates...

@Hot_Rod_lincoln 2 месяца назад

Hey nick this video was very helpful for me alongside some books and etc I was able to rebuild my aod but I've hot a problem there is fluid leaking from the pump from behind it unmounted the Trans and found the bolts on the pump to be slightly loose. Torqued again and after a while came back and found the bolts to be loose again leaking and they where making popping sounds. Any clue what's going on?

@nickstransmissions 2 месяца назад

Hi Hot_Rod_Lincoln, thank you for the kind words. Do you recall what your front end play was when putting the transmission together? This would have been the forward travel of the input shaft...I'm wondering if you actually have negative end play (i.e. an interference fit) between the pump and drums (pump-rev input drum-forward drum).

@Hot_Rod_lincoln Месяц назад

@@nickstransmissions I did not check the inplay with a gauge but it seemed to be just about what it was before I took it apart.

@nickstransmissions Месяц назад

Gotcha...If you had end play then I'm at a loss to explain what's happening but sounds as though it needs to come back out for investigation. Check for a cracked case, stripped threads, etc...

@roberthirshfield3571 27 дней назад

Hi sir where can I get the seal installer tools I see them on eBay for 35 to 75.00 do you know if they work thanks

@nickstransmissions 27 дней назад

Hi Robert, thank you for watching...The cheap blue aftermarket lip seal tools will work for a few transmissions then they wear out...If you plan on doing these in large volume, I'd buy the OTC OEM lip seal tools instead...Also, heat up the reverse input drum's machine cut square seals in transmission fluid before installing them as the heat makes them a bit more malleable and easier to install.

@roberthirshfield3571 19 дней назад

I found they don’t work very good what I did was freeze the pistons in the blue tools was able to get them in thank you again for all your help

My sun gear doesn't lock clock wise any idea the issue?

@nickstransmissions Месяц назад

Hi James, Are you referring to the sun shell? The sun gears spin freely in both directions while the sun shell should spin freely clockwise and lock counter-clockwise. So non-issue!

@JamesJohnson-sy5lh Месяц назад

@@nickstransmissions I meant sun shell

can you tell me why you cut the channels in the sun gear and shell gear? i may have missed it in part 1 sorry

@nickstransmissions Месяц назад

Hi DRsobczak, thank you for watching part 2...Please watch part one again - I discuss the lube mods that I made to all of the shafts and gear train components and the rationale for doing so. TIA!

@DRsobczak Месяц назад

@@nickstransmissions Thank you! We are pushing 2000hp into our AOD and trying to find ways to help save the planets b/c they are the weak point as you know. Wish someone made upgraded sets LOL!

@nickstransmissions Месяц назад

You're welcome, man! Wow - that's quite a lot of power! Yep the planets are weak but at 2k HP, pretty much everything is a bit suspect, haha. I know folks do 4R70 gear swaps with billet input, intermediate and output shafts as well as other upgrades when power levels get up there...I have a video that goes into some of those upgrades, in case you haven't seen it yet: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xve7LORcP7M.html

@DRsobczak Месяц назад

@@nickstransmissions yeah we have all to upgraded parts in it that anyone makes and a number of lube mods but i have never seen the cut channels on the gears. We broke a set of planets this past week doing half mile racing and we had to swap in a new set and sun gear on a home depot bucket LOL!

@nickstransmissions Месяц назад

Ha! Sometimes you have to do what you have to do...Yea Im not aware of a source for upgraded HD planetaries either but I'd think someone would make them given how popular the AOD is for performance...

@bigstick9663 5 месяцев назад

Great video, keep it up. If there's an opportunity to hear more about an AOD with all the stops pulled to handle the most power possible using 4r70w parts etc. that would be of interest.

@nickstransmissions 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the kind words, Bigstick! I'll definitely film a 4R70 component swap into an AOD if / when I get one in...I don't see those transmissions too often but hopefully one that needs 4R70 parts will come in soon.

@monkeywrenchization 5 месяцев назад

I noticed that you don't sand your steels. I always do because that is what I was taught. I always sanded all pressure plates, steels, and band surfaces. I think it gives you a grabby shift. I might be full of shit, but I always do it.

@nickstransmissions 5 месяцев назад

Hey Peter, I usually do some prep work on used steels and apply plates that need it (ie have some slip marks) but haven't ever done so on new steels or apply/backing plates. The apply plates all looked good to me as well. Thank you for watching, as always!

You mention the need to replace bushing in the AOD, would you recommend this with a low miles 17K that has lost the overdrive band do to TV cable clip failure. I have one I need to do and it will be my first AOD build/repair. I have done lots of C4 and C6 plus several other manufacturer transmissions just never had an AOD in my stable. I have found your videos on this trans to be very informative though.

@nickstransmissions 3 месяца назад

Hi Tim, thank you for watching and the kind words. If only 17k miles on it, and bushings were replaced last time (or the trans has only 17k original miles) then they should be fine. You can check the bushing wear by mating the bushings with their respective journals and checking for 'side play'. All bushings should have been .001-.002 clearance max between bushing and journal...while this is hard to measure, you can tell if the clearance is at or very close to that range by simply spinning the journal in the bushing and see if you can feel it move sideways...If it doesn't and there is no binding, etc they should be fine. 2WD applications tend to have more aggressively worn rear case bushings than 4WD units. Pay close attention to the pump bushings, they tend to wear aggressively as well.

@timreiners5540 3 месяца назад

@@nickstransmissions Thank You for your reply, this is actually an all original 17K mile 88 Thunderbird very nice car and have all documentation of the cars history. It was very unfortunate that the TV cable clip broke likely brittle from age. Just hope I can repair it and not have to spend so much. I already ordered seal installation tools and the like to do it properly. Most of the rest of the tools I have as I also have a small home machine shop so I have most of the rest of the tools I would need. Really like your videos and look forward to checking out some of your other ones as well.

@nickstransmissions 3 месяца назад

Nice, very rare these days to hear of a vehicle from the 80s or 90s with that low mileage. If you have a small machine shop at home, you should be able to make all of the bushing installer tools you need as well as pullers to remove them but at only 17k miles, most of the bushings should be fine...One other bushing to look at carefully is the direct drum bushing...If that's worn, you'll want to replace it and it's a pain to remove. Hopefully yours is fine...
