AOD/E - 4R70W
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Nov-02 AT 11:02 PM (EST)]Hi All
I have a 96 F-150 4X4 with the 5.0 engine and the door sticker has a "U" in the trans code. A search shows that this is the 4R70W transmission and I have found a number of other posts that also mention the AOD/E. Are these just two names for the same transmission?
I am getting a shuddering around 40-45 mph and I have heard that re-tightening the valve body bolts might help. Since I need to drop the pan, I will need a new gasket and filter and I want to make sure I get the right parts.

The 4R70W and the AODE are different but not by much. The 4R70W has a wider gear range (hence the W) and also a different output shaft. Other than that they are pretty much the same thing.

Gentlemen,
Thank you all very much for your responses! I just hate having to buy parts from the dealer (usually WAY over priced), but it doesn't look like I've got a choice.
Thanks again for the information guys

Ryan,you can get a 4R70W filter at any auto parts store.I get mine at Discount Auto,which is a PURALATOR,for about $8.00.

Thanks FatF150, that is welcome information! I pass by an AutoZone on my way back home from work, I think I'll stop and see if they might have something that fits.
Thanks again!
