I remember reading in some magazine that the AW4 isn't the most desirable transmission. According to Novak, it has "a tendency to generate excessive amounts of heat," and it's "known for unnecessarily consuming more engine power than some other automatics." I'd recommend swapping in a Turbo 350 or a Turbo 700. Both of these were used for years so they should be more common than an AW4.
