Which Tranny

I have a 94 F-150 5.0 automatic, it has overdrive and I am trying to determine which transmission it has.

Right now it shudders between 3 & 4th, which has largely decreased due to Dr Tranny Instant Shudder Fixx.

But I am looking to tow a boat about 90 miles one way and want a reliable transmission.

Thanks in advance...

Count the number of bolts on the transmission pan and make a rough sketch of the pan itself.Every tranny has its own "shape" of the transmission pan and the number of bolts. Go on LMC's online catalog and go to page 9 there will be a transmission identifying Diagram.Match the bolts and shape of your pan and there you have it. Thats the easiest way ive found....Hope this helps!

Tranny

That narrowed it down to AOD/AOT or AODE-W.

Just asked my dad about that hes been a ford parts manager at a dealership for 25 years he said the AOD/AOT and the AODE-W(4R70W) are the practically the same. In 1994 they changed the name of the AOD/AOT to AODE-W(4R70W) that explains why they are so similar.

On this vintage truck there are really only 2 potential auto transmissions options and they're both completely computer controlled.. the E4OD(trans code E) or the 4R70W(trans code U) so check the trans code on the drivers door pillar. There is an outside chance it has an all mechanical AOD but that's a really outside chance and if it did it would have a "T" trans code.

With the computer controlled transmissions all engine and powertrain sensors affect operation so do not ignore things like a misbehaving speedo or an irratic idle, these sensor inputs are key to correct transmission operation.
