(OP)
i am building a 79 capri and i am putting a pretty healthy 351w in it i want the overdrive because i am running 4:10 gears....i am looking for any free mods that i can do to help it with the way that it shifts sloppy......is there anything that can be done to the valve body or the seperator plate to help this problem





RE: the aod
If yours has throttle linkage (not cable) be advised that setting the linkage correctly is ultra-important, to the point that a misadjusted linkage can burn up the trans in 100 miles!

Or a search of "shift kits".

RE: the aod
If you modify the transmission and mess it up, or, skip the modification and fry it, things will no longer be free. A shift kit and decent trans cooler are among the best longevity investments one can make. Neither one has to be expensive.
RE: the aod
I completely agree with both your posts.
