how long is the C6 compared to your AOD? You may need to lengthen/shorten driveshafts.

It's been awhile since I swapped mine, but I needed to change:

1. Shorten rear driveshaft...took it to a driveshaft shop and they welded it up no problem

2. I used the transfer case that came with the C-6 - NP205 I believe, not sure if you can use your current case...I'm sure someone knows

3. Needed to get a kick-down rod from an older F-150 so that downshifting would be possible.

4. Of course you'll need the shifting linkage from the C6.

5. There's a vacuum line that runs down to the tranny...don't think there was one for the AOD.

That's all that comes to mind right now, there's probably some other guys on here that know a little more about it. As far as your rear-end, that SUCKS. Time for some bigger axles???

Make sure you get a flywheel for a C6 or an E40d or youll be looking for another tranny shortly after . /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

yeah.....been there.....not fun......35's are the limit for those stock axles

 

[muddinlate86]

ive herd that 36s are the max you can runbut theres a better chance of breaking the u joints mhen mudding or driving hard.i hope that after my rear end gets rebuilt the tranny will hold till i can get a new one

 

[92bronco_in_progress]

i just had mine rebuilt........all brand new parts.....it ran me like 900 cause i don't have the tools or the know how to tackle it......plus i need the truck......its my DD right now

just curious, is the c 6 better than the aod. why are you going from aod to the c6. i've got the aod in my 86 and the c6 in the 84. both trucks drive completely different but i dont know how much is due to the tranny's.

 

[muddinlate86]

the c6 is the toughest tranny made to date over all. the downfall is its so heavy and theres no od.i just need a tranny swap but want to do it cheap so thats why i asked hope this helps

 

[92bronco_in_progress]

if your trying to go on the cheap i would just throw another AOD in there

 

[muddinlate86]

yeah but its hard to decide if i want to take a chance on a jy tranny cause its alot of work changing a tranny and i hate tranny fluid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ogeechee 4x4]

and i hate tranny fluid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh come on...it's not like it stinks as bad as used gear oil :huh:

 

[muddinlate86]

[92bronco_in_progress]
