confused trans code??

Got a truck I'm looking at. The trans code is t, it shows overdrive, drive, and first on the dash. No od button on shifter, its a 93 302 f150. I would have crawled under it but its nothing but sloppy mud.

That sounds like it might be an AOD, my friend has a 93 150 super cab that has that shift pattern and his is AOD..

The od position will let it go into overdrive. The drive position only lets it shift up to 3 rd gear/direct.. (towing)

First and second gear is used with drive or OD, unless you shift to 2, that starts you off in second and stays in second,(ice and slick conditions) likewise 1 will start off in first gear and stay in first...

Mine has 4-Low, plus revers. = 6
4-hi, plus revers. = 6
Direct, plus revers. = 6
The math comes to................18.

And I use them all!
