    tonyinsandiego got a reaction from GT69 in C6 to AOD conversion   
    Hi guys,
     
    Just wanted to chime in here,First Off Mr. Linden Bruce knows his AOD's.  I'd listen to anything he has to say.  Smart guy, only wants to help you and has a lot of experience. 
    Here is my experience with the AOD conversion from Mike's Transmission in Lancaster:
    I went with Mike's Transmissions in Lancaster Ca.  I'm happy with the results but I did go back and forth with the flex plate, be aware your flex plate in the C6 won't work with the AOD.  At least mine didn't.  I had a custom flexplate made and re-balanced.  I didn't' counting on that and the transmission shop struggled a little with this.  I am happy with the transmission performance overall.  Set up the pressure correctly.  That was the hardest part for me.  Tranny was beefed up so standard pressure settings didn't work out for me.  After dialing in the transmission it runs awesome.  I have the 351C (approx 450+ hp) that had the C6 and swapped to the AOD for the overdrive.  I did this because of the 4.11 gears that had my car sound like an airplane taking off on the freeway.  Very close to the same gears but with the OD.  Torque converter is a 2800 stall and will rip my tires no problem.  Only problem I have is hooking up.  One thing I did is add a pressure gauge to read my transmission pressure while driving,  I did this so I can easily set up the pressure with carb adjustments, removal etc.  If you have any questions feel free to fit me up.  FYI-- I went with Mike's Transmission after reading an article from a mustang magazine on line.

    Horn isn't working.  Here is what I do know.  Horn will work if I remove the steering wheel and short out the little brushes making contact with the steering wheel.  The steering wheel has the rim blow horn and it makes contact from the rim switch to the screw terminals.  The problem has to be after the screw terminals or the contact of the ring and brushes.  Has anyone had an issue with this before?  I did not check the continuity between the ring and the rim blow screw terminals.  If that's the case, then my entire steering wheel could be shot,
