Howdy,



I do not have an AOD transmission. (I'm using an E4OD + 292)



But, if I was going to use an AOD, I think I would use a yoke for an AOD because using one that "appears to fit" might either damage the tailshaft housing, shaft or seal......then, you'll be pulling it apart to fix it instead of driving it! It might also cause drive shaft vibration.



The cross-bearings (U-joints) should be the same size. Be sure to check the alignment of the drive shaft too. Dana/Spicer has instructions on how to check alignment.

There's a lot of resources on the net on how to align a driveshaft.



Cheers,





Rick

I am in the process of collecting parts for a AOD conversion into a 57bird that had a 3 speed curise o mate conversion done many years ago and was wondering if the yoke from a cruise o matic is OK to use with the AOD trans. It slides in and seems to fit OK but still concerned if it is alright to use. Has any one done the conversion and can give me a heads up on what to expect.
