This is for my '95 Stang with a turbo.

I have a few criteria to meet in my decision towards selecting an automatic.

I had a C-4 in my coupe and loved it at the track but I sacrificed streetability when I switched from my stick, so a C4 is out.


I want overdrive with a lockup converter
Also gotta have a trannybrake
I want as little power loss as possible
I want enough strength to withstand low 10 high 9 1320 passes
And durable enough to stand plenty of street driving
I don't want to break the bank while achieving this either


I don't want much do I? http://www.corral.net/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif

Anyone have any experience with this and ideas on where I get this tranny and cost?

Saturday Night Special?

Not sure Lynard Skynard could help me here.... ;)

Searched here for those 3 words and well the most interesting thread was an evo? killing a s/c stang..

I know TCI has a converter called the Saturday Night Special but not sure about a tranny..

There was a company that built AOD's with a lockup that would survive this type of abuse, just can't remember the name of it. Joe (T/S 25) used to have one, help me out man?
Lentech I think?
Yep, here it is:http://www.lentechautomatics.com/aodproducts.html#
Jeff Chambers used to run one in the old Trophy STock class, he was running low 10's high 9's if I remember, NA so it took a lot more abuse..

Thanks bro, the link is not working for me atm, but I will check it again when I get home from work this evening. I will also search "lentech" on this and other forums too.

i have buddies in the mid 10's running Art Carr AOD w/ reverse manaul valve bodies, and a brake, with custom 9" comverters, one has been in the car for three racing seasons, and works flawlessly.
