Transmission failure rate

[eco]

Which trans had the highest failure rate between the C6 and the AOD and what was the nature the failures?

Honestly i've seen more AOD's go bad, mostly due to maint and abuse.

The c6 was virtually bulletproof in most instances. You have to remember what they put the c6 in as well!

What would that be?

And what are the differences between a c6 and an AOD other than the obvious overdrive feature?

They had the C6's behind big blocks and FE's in cars and trucks back in the good'ol days, not 100% on the differences, but the AOD used a throttle valve cable to control line psi, C6 had a vac modulator valve. If you really want a bullet proof tranny I beleive the C4 is the way to go ( if I rember correctly) guy use them in there drag cars and such.
