Spent part of today changing the AOD transmission fluid and filter. Glad to know that's been done! The shift from 1st to 2nd is still really strong unless you mash the pedal to the floor, which I don't like doing all the time. I have a transmission shop down the street that I want to take it to and see what they can tell me. I am not a transmission guy, but I am wondering if it's a valve body that is made for more of a high-performance setup? I don't like it...... at least for every-day driving.
This thing is a real hoot to drive and has become my daily driver. Does great even on the coldest days. Eventually want to replace all of the seals on the doors....... still want to replace the wheels and the rear tires (rears are oversized). Other than that, it's doing great!
