AS most of you know I have had nothing but trouble with my AOD that I bought from PATC.
Well here is the final nail.....
http://www.transmissioncenter.net/AOD.htm
Item number 6 on their webpage....of upgrade items that they include in their AOD Dominators......their own intermediate shaft (which is what is now broken in my tranny and getting fixed)
So I start thinking to myself...ohhh cool....its their own part, they are a bunch of morons, so they made it wrong, a new hardened shaft will fix it and be ok. Call up my tranny guy..."hey that shaft that broke was supposed to be....." his response "no it wasn't...it was the same exact part I just ordered and installed...a hardened off the shelf AODe intermediate shaft." But how can that be!!!!!!!!!!!!! my transmission comes with this super special stuff.....well it didn't.
Up till now, the tranny has just been poor workmanship and poor customer service....the governer valve was bad from the factory, then it burnt out right after the warrantee expired (with about 400 miles on it since my motor was being rebuilt for 5 of those 6 months).....but now I have cold hard proof that they are a bunch of lying rip off artists. The claim to use upgraded hardparts in their transmission and DO NOT. Everyone on this forum should make sure to stay away from this manufacture unless they have an extra 6k to spend on a transmission and don't like to drive their car on nice sunny days.
