Thread: Ford AOD questions

Tweet

Is the 4th gear on an AOD tranny electronic? Aside from the normal shifting lever on the side of the tranny, there is a 4 prong elect connection. Is there some type of relay, or something that I need. The donor vehicle for the tranny is a 1983 ford E-150 van. Should I grab that part of the wiring harness?

The trans is behind a '72 351C in a 56 ford customline. I will be using a painless or equiv. wiring harness. Thanks.

No 4th is not electronic. Im not sure what that is. Reverse lights etc I could find out.

Is that where you are at? I am fixen to remove the aod from one of my mustangs and can hook you up with some parts.

Hmm. Thanks for the article. I thought the AOD would be a better choice over a C4. I didnt realize that the AOD had its issues. I will be running about 300-350 hp. with a 4.11 posi. I wanted the extra gear for better highway speeds. Any opinions? I cant spend alot of money re-working the AOD to make it perform better. I didnt know that you had to go from 1st to drive and back to find second. Thats sound really wierd. I better read the article again. Thanks Again.
