Transmission identification issues
Im sorry yall if im reposting the same **** yall read before but this is really causing me a problem. im trying to identify my transmission so i can do a filter and gasket change-
1995 extended cab f150 XLT 4x4 auto 302. I know what everything else i got 8.8 rear dana 44 front etc etc but neither my nor my friends cannot figure out my tranny so if you could help that would be great
My tranny pan has 14 bolts
I DO HAVE an Electronic overdrive switch on my gear selector (PRND21)
Tranny dipstick says Mercon
And I cant find a tag or any readable i.d. on my tranny
My haynes is as good as firewood and the local Ford dealership is full of cavemen so any help is greatly appreciated. Thankyou
Is it AODE E40D or 4R70w?
Once again thankyou...

It's a 4R70W - for sure. Ford never used the AOD-E in the F-Series, and an AOD would not have an OD cancel button. E4ODs have 20 pan bolts, so the only one left is the 4R70W.
The AOD is different than the AOD-E/4R70W. The 4R70W has revised gear ratios and a few other improvements over the AOD-E, but they are essentially the same.
Your truck came with Mercon, but you should switch to Mercon V. To do the switch you should also drain the torque converter. You'll need around 14-16 quarts of fluid with a converter drain.

I just did mine a couple weeks ago...i drained the converter as well...i was concerned about starting the truck with a dry converter also (the trans will fill it up once it has been run)...talked to my pops, he told me to put about 3-4qts in...start it, shift thorough all gears, recheck/fill as needed...and repeat untill level is good...seemed to work for me

There is a cap/plug on the bottom of the bell housing. Pop it off, and rotate the engine until the drain plug is on the bottom. Take it out, drain it, put the plug back in.
Converter will not care one bit if it is dry. Just put an initial fluid fill in the pan, start it up, then keep adding fluid until it's full - as mentioned. No need to shift it through the gears.
