A simple AODE question...

[IMTOPLS]

Hey guys. Probably a dumb question but I've gotten mixed answers to this point so I'll ask it here. Do the 3.8 and 5.0 litres share the same AODE trans.? Is it interchangeable?

I have many answers for your question. What are you trying to do?

I'm not really trying to do anything. I just bought an AODE for my '95 GT from a '95 GT. In the ad, the seller said that it would also fit a V-6. That made me curious so I was really just asking for general information...

Yes the bolt patren is the same for the 5.0 amd v6. I was asking becuase they changed the v6 trans is 96 to a 4r70w witch is an aode with the wide ratio gearset. some people have problems with the gearing and have to get a chip to use one on a 94-95. i think in 99 or 00 they changed the electronics some and you would have to swap them to use them on a 94-95. And i think the 94-98 v6 trannys had less clutches but they changed that in 99 and the v8 and v6 had the same clutch count. There where some differences in the trans. I would make sure you got a 95 gt and not a 95 v6 trans. i'm not sure how to tell the differences from the outside but the 6v has less clutches and wont last as long in a 5.0.

Thanks a lot for the info! The only thing I know for sure is that the trans I bought came from a '95 GT. I can only assume that it was original. The seller pulled it to change to a 5-speed.

Thanks again!
