I have had much more customers that ditch the T5 and go AOD vs. going from an AOD to a T5. Once you drive a car with a properly acting AOD and a stall converter, you will forget all about rowing your own gears.

That being said, I have two AOD cores that both came out of fox body Mustangs. The Mustang valve body along with the Transgo AOD-HP shift kit will give you shift points for the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts at 5800-6000 rpm by just leaving the shifter in drive. You won't have any more drama from missed shifts, clutch replacements, or inconsistent launches like you can get with a stick. An AOD with this shift kit and a solid input shaft will handle 600hp with ease. That's way more than any T5 could stand and your torque boxes will thank you, too.

I even have the factory shifter, shift cable, tv cable, and cooler lines on hand for a fox body Mustang if you decide to go automatic.
