Transmission Type?
Hi. I have a 97 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4WD V6 SOHC. I need to service the automatic transmission, and apparently I need to know if my transmission is a "A4LD" or "4R70W". I have no idea what the distinction is, and have o idea how to figure out which one I have. Can anyone kindly guide me?
Thank you
Jeff

This should help:
There are 5 automatic transmissions used in the Ford Ranger, Explorer and Mountaineer. They may be identified by checking the transmission code on the Safety Standard Certification Label attached to the driver's side door post, in the space marked Trans. The transmissions can also be identified by a tag attached to the lower left hand extension attaching bolt. The transmission codes are as follows:
1991-94 code T is for the A4LD transmission
1995-99 code T is for the 4R44E (2.3L, 2.5L & 3.0L) or 4R55E (4.0L) transmission
1996-99 code U is for the 4R70W (5.0L) transmission
1997-99 code D is for the 5R55E (5-speed automatic) transmission
