AOD are they all the same????
I got an 86 f 150 4x4 with the AOD tranny, and np 208 case. I need to replace or rebuild the trans. I got one wrecker sayin that all the aod's are basically the same, and one from a grand marquie or crown vic will work, just change out the tail shaft from my old, and I got another, sayin, nope, different tranny, truck is longer than a car, and it won't work.
Can anybody tell me if there is any major difference??
My neighbour put a trans outa a crown vic into his 88 f 150 half and it went in fine, no changes at all.
I think as long as it has the 1 2 3 D shift pattern, they are all the same, no???

The first place is correct. Ford did not build trannys for trucks and another same model for cars. 4X4s require a different tail shaft to connect to the transfer case, while a 2X4 connects to the drive shaft.
hope this helps

There are also two different tailshaft bushing diameters for 2wd.
Other than that there is no difference between a car and truck AOD.

Ford improved the tailshaft lubrication or something in the late 80's. Ford Motorsport sold a retrofit kit for early AODs to fix this. I don't know if that applies to the 4x4 version, though. Something you'll want to look into...

ok, a buddy of mine tells me that the tail shaft length is longer with the two wheel, which I allready figured, but also tells me that in order to use the two wheel tranny in my 4 wheel, I will need to disasemble the tranny to change the shaft. Is this true??? Gonna have a boo see tomorrow.
