ive been looking through ebay for a few days and ive noticed that all of the aod trannys list from they fit all the way up to 92. Is there a difference between the 92 AODs and the 93s?
At some point they went to AOD-E PCM control trans. Perhaps this was the model year break? I'm sure somebody more knowledgeable will chime in.
that was 94. cause the aode had the OD button on the shifter. i dont think there is a difference, i just dont wanna spend $$$ on something that wont fit when i cant afford to waste a few hundred really, if they wont fit, i might have enough to get the one i have rebuilt
The MN-12 Cougars and T-Birds never got the AOD-E's, they were AOD from '89-93, then they got the fully electronic 4R70W for the final four years of production.
ah, so would a listed 92 aod fit a 93?
an AOD from an '82 would fit, and work, in a '93, so the '92 would work.
i thought so, i just wanted to be 1000% sure.
does the bell housing for a 302 fit the 232?
yep, should be the same.
in that matter, would the whole transmission be the same?
'92 232 car using a '93 302 transmission and bell housing? It's just a matter of pulling the transmission from the V-8 and putting it in the V-6. Nothing to change.
depends on the car. There are different levels of torque converters in the myriad v8 cars. However, this is backwards compatible, afaik there's no reason why you can't use a v8 trans in a v6, I just wouldn't go the other way.
So, pretty much any
AOD from a fox car should fit. After that, things get tricky. But, like stated before, 89-93 MN12s should go in, I wouldn't fiddle with any SN95 trannys.
This was for my 88, but I think the information is the same for a 93:
Or, pulling the 302 and transmission and putting it in the v6 car!:rollin:
Might be
a little more work though:rollin:
yeah, i just wanted to be sure i could do it before i made plans on which way i would go. You know how things go sometimes when you "assume" things will work.
it will be nice ince i get the tranny in, then the only thing over 2 yrs old will be the rear end, but wanting the rearend from a mark VIII. It will be there eventually:burnout:
would the 4r70w work in place of the AOD without swapping computers or modifying anything?-in a 93 cat
Noooo
what i thought but read about some1 else doing it in a differnt forum, but they didnt list any details about it
It'd be cheaper and easier to buy a V-8 car, if one was going that route :burnout:
is the 93 bird aod trans coputer controled, what about the speedomiter is it a cable or computer controled.
well, once i sell my truck, ill know what ill do in the meantime
speedo uses an electronic speed sensor not a cable, I think '85 was the switchover year for that in the cat/birds
Would it be possible to install a 4r70w in saaaay... a fox or an earlier mn-12 just by pulling the computer and running the necessary wires and harnesses to the transmission, and from the speed sensor? or speedometer or whatever it gets its information from...?
I realize the trans is computer controlled, but seriously, how much could there be to it? It seems like it could be done fairly easily to me.
Yes it can be done ...no it is not an easy swap... I was just reading about this swap on a different forum and personally IMHO way too much modification for the gains
Hmmm, well if it can be done, my stubborn ass will definitely want to consider it:D
Just so you know, you can put an AOd in there no problem.
I was talking to a SC guy today, who swithced out his 4R70W and put in a AOd. He said there was nothing he had to change to get it tin there.
So, this means to me that anything out of a thunderbird or cougar, on or before your year, will go in your car. Whether it be AOdE, or plain ol AOd.
actually you do want the later v6 aod over the v8 trans, especially for the aod behnd the super charged v6.
its not a supercharged v6, and it is an AOD-but i dont have to look no more; i ended up having it rebuilt- its in the shop right now, should get it back tommorow or tuesday
