AOD or AODE ??! help please ?!

[94stang-lover]

2 days ago my transmission blow up completely coz it was barley hanging there. and i decide NOT to rebuild it coz it's not worth it. i search the net and find me a nice website that offers nice tranny for my budget. the problem is i don't know what to choose. should i go with an AOD or AODE ?!?! i have a bad experience with the AODE i have in my car. some of my friend told me to go with AOD and the others told me to go with an AODE. i need help?!?! should i go with an AOD swap or stick with AODE ?!?!

These are the transmissions i decide to go with:

1- AOD:
AOD Transmission - Level 2 (dominator jr.)
http://www.transmissioncenter.net/aod.htm

the thing that made me look for AOD that some my friends told me that it is better than the AODE ( performance wise ). is it worth it to swap to AOD transmission and go a head and buy new computer, the throttle valve cable kit, ect .

2- AODE :
AODE / 4R70W Transmission - Level 2
http://www.transmissioncenter.net/aode.htm

I’m really considering this one cos all i need to do is take the old one off and install this one and that’s it i don't have to go thru all the swap installation.


I really appreciate any help I can get. And if u have any other good deals that I can go for please let me know.

The AODE is overall the better choice. It can almost entirely be controlled by something like the Tweecer or Baumannator as in line pressure, shift points, and converter behavior. Which brings up another positive, the converter's lockup clutch. Since the lockup is controlled by a clutch which can be set to engage or disengage at a specific time or can be turned off completely when desired (through a Tweecer, or PA manual valve body). The converter clutch also allows for a more controlled engagement/disengagement of OD, by gradually engaging/disengaging the clutch.

Go with the aode

I really think the new AODE is your best bet. I guarentee you if you take care if the new aode from day 1, it will last you a LONG time, and they have been proven to handle a lot of power. I'm not saying that you never maintained your tranny, and it's your fault it broke. It's just that I'm sure you purchsed the car used, and it probably had an underlying tranny problem from the pervious owner/s.

A new aode will be an easy, and direct replacement also.

I would go with the aode/4r70w.

Have you looked at a PMA-PA45101-50 at summitracing.com?

 

[Stanger007]

Built AODE/4R70W.

Get a converter while you are at it.

so what years did each come in?

 

[Mustangless]

I think 97-93 was aod, 94-95 aode, 96-98 weaker 4r70w, 99-04 stronger 4r70w.

That could be wrong though.

 

[Mrgreen94gt]

The 4R70W's up to 97 were the weaker ones. In 98, they were beefed up a bit. The strongest stock ones, by far, are the 03-04 ones.

I was asking because some of the "rebuild kits" on ebay show it only goes up to 1990 and I was wondering which one to pick up for my 91?
