Forde AOD transmission

AOD

Was used 1979-93 in many Ford products.

Even though Ford's designation for this transmission was AOD, some people (and catalogs) referred to it as FIOD (Ford Integrated Over Drive) or AOT (Automatic Overdrive Transmission).

This transmission was replaced by the AODE and shares a few common components. 1992 & 1993 were crossover years and could have either an AOD, AODE or 4R70W.

This was an hydraulically controlled rear wheel drive overdrive transmission.

Bottom cooler line is the cooler return line.
