Thread: Level 1 and level 2 upgrade kits

  1. #1

    Level 1 and level 2 upgrade kits

    First of all thank you for being so patient, here are the kits I have been working on for over three months, Level one kit is the 4R70W\75 and it will work on ALL 99 and up Transmissions and the Valve body kit, has been modified to Jerry's specifications, these plates are Laser cut, included with this is the AODE 300 M. Hardened stub shaft.

    I have had two stub shafts on SC Marauders fail, normally these are never prone to failure but I have decided to include a better shaft in both kits, along with the forced lube tail shaft kit.

    I will include a new rear tail shaft bushing. Also included is the spiral lock clip, what I have seen is the stock OEM clip will shake or pop off the mechanical diode assemble and this alone can cause the transmission to fail, along with the lips being torn or cut on the 1/2 accumulator pistons improperly installed from Ford, this is why a lot of you are having transmission failures, this kit will come with all the gaskets and hardware. This kit should be used on low mileage Transmissions that have no problems or internal damage.

    Level 2 is all of the above plus a complete AOD super rebuild kit/with all the upgraded bands and clutches, this will make the transmission bullet proof, able to with stand 600 RWHP. If you have a car still under warranty and you feel the transmission is not right by all means go to Ford, but keep in mine they will only make a stock repair never addressing known weak areas of this transmission, for example they will not install the spiral lock clip. If you want a proven setup go with the level 2 kit, I have been selling bullet proof 4R70W's for years, I have one in my Mark 8 and it makes 530 RWHP to the tires. It will be two weeks before I can get the valve body separator plates. I am having these laser cut out in California, you can call me about pricing both kits are very reasonable priced as every thing I sell for our cars.

    Question

    I was actually going to ask that same question! I'd definately be interested in a new valve body for my 4R75W if it was available. Out of curiosity, how much is the Stage 1, and Stage 2 kits for us?

    Yes they will work perfect there is very little differences between both transmissions.

    Unhappy I want Level 1

    For the reason of not having to get Level 2 later, I think that Ford/Mercury should look at this issue and have a recall on all Marauders for this upgrade.
    Not to take anything away from Dennis, but if Transmissions are going south on us Marauder owners with a defect that the factory installed than it should be a nation wide "Recall".

    True, but who would you rather have working on your tranmission. The people who made it that way the first time or Dennis?

    Ummm...I've been debating this point myself, and I am not pleased by my results. May I recap my thinking with you?

    We know that 7000 plus Marauders are out on the streets of America, real cars on the pavement, yes?

    We also know that we have 1300 plus members here, and I for one must agree that anyone who has gone as far as to register a screen name with us here, probably owns a Marauder, right?

    Out of that 1300 plus members registered here, about 150 or so, actually talk about their Marauder. Really come to speak their praise, and talk about their problems, are you following me?

    And of those 150 or so who talk about their problems, one in ten have complained about tranny problems.

    Now...Unless someone has been lying here, our MM tranny failure rate is very, very low among MM owners at large, which does not support any "recall."

    Maybe, and "at best," a note in our OASIS records may record our requests for inspection and repair.

    "Recall?" I think not. We would have to have half of the production line fail before any "recall."

    Sorry...Not my definition of the word, or it's status among owners. Just the way it is...
