I'm starting the process of trying to determine which option would be best, and I can use any advise. I currently have an '69 FMX that is going south. starting to slip really bad from park to drive and reverse. I see 3 choices. 1) rebuild the fmx myself with a cost of approx. $100 for a complete kit, about $100 for shift kit and my time. 2) R&R with another fmx or c4 already rebuilt, cost approx. $500. 3) R&R with a late model AOD ( up to '93) for about $500. I've been leaning towards the aod, for performance and economy. The articles I've read make it seem pretty easy with a few things I'd need to buy, like a flex plate, "tv" cable, crossmember, aod yoke w/ shortened driveline and the linkage. The only thing I didn't see referenced is the speedo cable. Will my '68 speedo cable and gear work with the aod? Has anyone done the aod swap?
