Help ID'ing auto tranny? Numbers here...
I'm trying to identify a spare transmission that I have. It was included with a work truck I purchased recently. I've been told it's from an '88 T-Bird.
The tranny was installed in the truck, and they couldn't get it to shift right. Rather than mess with, they jerked it an installed a C6. That's the story I received, anyway.
Here are the numbers:
Case / tailshaft:
RF-E0AP-7A040-BD
Basic - 5A 25 (25 is BIG number, probably 1" tall).
On the tag:
PKA DR1
012366 H18
E8SP AB
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

Thanks for the help, Hemi. Is it just a '88 model, 5.0 / 3.8 / 4.2 compatible AOD, then? Does the electronic (not vacuum) modulator valve relegate it to specific applications?
Thanks again.

AOD is compatible with any engine that has the 302 circle bolt pattern. If you say its a electronic its an EAOD transmission but if it has the vaccum modulator its hydraulically controlled transmission (AOD). But there are other bolt pattern designs 302/3.8/4.2 engine for this transsmission like the 300 six and 351 windsor.
There is not electronic modulator, all it is are shift solenoids on an EAOD.

I know this is going to sound horrible...but how exactly do I know if it's EAOD or AOD? Does that little pigtail of wires (with connector) coming out of the left side (just above the pan) give it away?

yeah, if ya dont know much about transmissions you wont recognize the things that make it electronic right away o well. But yeah, the wire harness or pigtail would be an indicator, also you can take the pan off and you will see the shift solenoids.

88 Aod is just that, an Aod. IMO, Either the TV cable is bad, or the tbird's shifter bracket is opposite of your truck's shifter link.

Thanks! The # issue helped convince me it actually was an '88 tranny. Just because I was told it came from an '88 TBird doesn't really mean it -did- come from an '88 TBird. We all know how that goes. 
Hemi's number-crunch seems to support that it -is- an '88 model, though. Everything else I've found states that the AOD-E didn't exist until the 91/92 model year. That would make this semi-confirmed '88 model tranny an AOD.
Lastly, I was able to find this on the web:
and a recently pulled AOD-E from a Mustang:
The "D-shaped" electrical connector in the two AOD-E shots is -NOT- on my tranny. As far as I'm concerned, that's the nail in the coffin, which makes this tranny an AOD.
Which means it's either not operating properly (I have reason to believe it is), or it was mis-adjusted in the truck (much more likely, IMO).
Which makes me wonder if I should pull the C6, and put this baby back in.
I want to thank everyone for the help. It is very appreciated.
