Normal maintenance with synthetic fluid and filter chance should do it.

I am sorry bud what i should have said is what should i look at to make sure they did what they said they did. Should it shift hard at first? Should I not gun the throttle for a while? Like those kind of things i just paid 3,100 to get it rebuilt so i wanna be able to keep it running right

I have had a TON of V8 automatic AOD transmission fords. Have had many rebuilt, None have ever felt like a brand new car does off the assembly line. I put all of them through the motions as soon as I got them, never had a problem but also they never really felt perfect or what you would think. Just normal maintenance is all that is needed. Fluids are cheap, transmissions and engines are not.

Hope this helps

Yeah, I'd take it easy, let the clutch packs wear in and dump the fluid out at 10k, do the filter. Clean magnetic. on pan, fill with full- synthetic fluid and good filter.
