C6 or AOD?

I recently purchased a 55 f100 with a spare 302 and auto trans. guy said it was a c6 and he gave me the "brain box" (his description) to go with it...question is....how can I tell if it's a c6 or AOD or what? What numbers should I look for and where? The 64 fairlane I restored had a fordomatic 2 speed, much different than what I have now....

Thanks for your help:

C6 or AOD?

You can tell by looking at the oil pan...there are pictures somewhere on the web, I just don't know where they are.

C6 or AOD?

what year is the motor and tranny? if you have the motor and tranny apart a c-6 has two shafts behind the torque converter and an aod will have 3 and an aod should say metric on the pan.

if you look at the pan of an aod i think they are square, and a c-6 the front and the two sides of the pan are straight and the back is not straight kinda hard to explain.

C6 or AOD?

Also and as far as I can remember AOD is cable linked and C6 is vacum linked.

Dig for vacum actuator on tranny if it has it may be either a C6 or C4, if not it should be an AOD.

Just my 0.02

Question C6 or AOD?

OK the eng/trans supposedly came out of an 87 ltd...engine and trans are together so no help by looking there.....was so excited to get the truck and extra motor/trans ..didn't pay much attention to it....I did get a spare gasket for the trans (why I don't know ) and it is square on 3 sides and the 4th side has an angle ...

is there a number somewhere on the trans that I could reference and if so ...where is it?

Thanks for your help..

most numbers for trannys are stamped into the side of the tranny just above where the pan bolts on
bill edge

Thumbs up C6 or AOD?

Thanks Kenneth

The pictures and descriptions are exactly what I needed. I have an AOD trans. Should be just perfect to go with the 302 and the 3.92 rear end. should give the old truck some legs.....


thanks again

Steve
