AOD tranny.
 

I want to put an AOD in my 94. What year vehicles can I get an AOD? Thanks.

Also, Do I need to install the push button shifter? Or can I just leave it off? What else would be needed? Thanks.

Well the AOD transmissions were used in light duty trucks sometime during the early 80's until '91. I have a 1990 F-150 with an AOD. I thought about putting in an AODE when i replaced myt old AOD but i was unsure whether it would work. Anyway you wont need a push button overdrive lockout unless you are talking about an AODE. Which from what i hear is an AOD that is electronically shifted like the E4OD.

The AOD transmission is a 4-speed auto OD tramission. It is not the E40d or 4R70W that you may be thinking of. The AOD was released in 1981, and uses vaccum to operate the tranny. The last year for it was 1993, and then for went to the 4R70W or AODE that some people think. The 4R70W should be a direct bolt in because it simply is a electronic AOD, if you had an AOD before. Otherwise you will need a different driveshaft.

If you wanna swap in an AODE, Bauman engineering has a stand alone computer that does the work for cars without computer controled trannys originally. Looks Like I'm gonna try and swap to an AODE when my goes kaput (soon?) for the better ratios and the fact that you can select each gear. The AOD only has 1, 3, and 4 to choose from on the tree, but the AOD has 1,2,3 then the switch for 4. like that much better...

hodrodmex: Do you know if the gear ratio's are the same for the AODE vs. AOD? I assume that they are since it's called a AOD-E.

AOD does NOT use vacuum in any way and does not use a computer to determine shift points. The only wires on a AOD are those for the backup lights and neutral switch. AODE is computer operated and has a pushbutton on the dash for OD lockout. It is offered in a wide-ratio version and some shops offer the AOD with the "wide-ratio" gearing from the AODE. John

Why on earth would anyone want to put an aod in a vehicle with anything other than an aod factory? It has to be the weakest and sloppiest tranny ford made, and the crazy shifter antics, god give me a break, slap a c-6 or if u want od, do a manual tranny

OK , how hard would it be to go manual. I had this ruled out due to complexity, given you need to put the pedal in. thanks,

What tranny do you have now ?

A C6. 94 F250. 351

Why do you want to pitch the c-6, i dont think a manual swap will be easy as your cab probably dont have the knockouts in the firewall for the hydraulic clutch master cylider

I'll be willing to bet that the cab does have the knockouts for the clutch master cyl. My 82 has them, and it's from 2 years before it even existed... And, the later trucks have the knockout for where the linkage goes out through the floor. The hardest part of the swap would be cutting out the floor. I'd get a ZF 5 speed out of a F250 if I were you, the M5OD is a very light duty tranny. You'll need the tranny, flywheel, a pilot bearing, clutch and pressure plate, pedal set, the clutch linkage, and possibly a driveshaft. I probably missed something, but....

No need to cut when you can get the dog house off the donor truck for all the other parts, or directly from ford on the cheap i bet, any way you go a good used manual tranny is probably gonna be a grand just for the tranny

Well, it's not quite that simple, automatic(anything with the shifter on the cloum) different(solid) floorpan than manuals, and it has to be attacked with a sawzall(for some reason it's fun...) Been there, done that, have the back pain to prove it....
