Poor value; Transmission shifter linkage: no instructions leaving you to guess what was intended, shifter rod was fabricated so that the rod would bind on the bracked that attaches to the shifter; wound up modifying the original shifter rad to work with the AOD, this also required modifying the AOD shifter arm. Transmission slip yoke: a T-5 unit was in the kit, would not fit the AOD, use a C-4 yoke and save some $$$; Transmission support: would not fit with headers, chose to modify the headers (Hooker) instead of refabricating transmission mount {if the fabricater had actually tried to install this mount, they would have realized that with a minor engineering tweek to the drivers side attachment point to the body, they could have significantly improved exhasut pipe clearance and save modification of the driver's side header.] Lokar TV linkage: not designed to work with the OEM throttle cable; I had to build a custom throttle cable bracket to use this linkage.
