What Tranny 1984 Mark VII April 10, 2007, 05:04:19 PM I'm Hopeing this is one of those years where there was only one transmishion offered. Car was an LSC with a 5.0 auto w/floor shift. console was torn up where you couldent see the plate for what gear you were in. would this be an AOD? I could supply pic's but would take a day or so and it's pretty greasy still. Quote Selected

What Tranny 1984 Mark VII Reply #4 – April 10, 2007, 06:35:55 PM Ooops, you are right Chuck, the Mark tailshaft is 16", like a truck, most of the rest of the cars had 15". I forgot to mention that. Well, the good news that comes out of this is that while you have the trans apart to swap the output shaft, you can go through it and do more internal upgrades.... Quote Selected

What Tranny 1984 Mark VII Reply #7 – April 10, 2007, 10:19:18 PM Unless it has a fresh rebuild I wouldn't mess with it...Did all the LSCs have the longer tranny??? I know the 86 LSC trans I have is the long one... A '88 AOD is a better piece than the early stuff because of better oiling to the rear planetary gears... Only difference in column and console shifter trannys are the manual levers, no big deal to swap... Quote Selected
