What are the wires for on a AOD transmission?

The AOD does not require any wiring to be hooked up. The wiring is for what was stated earlier (Nuetral switch, reverse light). What you do need is a kickdown bar going from your carb to the valve body (there is a small lever above the shift linkage) in order to open up the valve body.

How much power can a built AOD handle?

Looking through all the trans build-ups on the Network 54 forums, and TCCOA, etc, the max torque a properly built AOD can handle is about 450 lb/ft.

Does a Ford AOD need a computer?

The Ford AOD does not need a computer to function properly either. The throttle valve function is mechanically activated and the torque converter lock-up function was contained entirely within the transmission case.

How much power can a stock 4R70W handle?

Chassis Builder. Transmissions are not rated by horsepower, they are rated by torque capacity. Based on technical data that I have seen, the 4R70W in stock form is rated at approx. 500 ft-lbs.

Is a Ford AOD transmission electronic?

To improve durability and make engine and transmission function more cohesive, Ford introduced the AODE in 1991. AODE, or AOD Electronic Control, delivers precision operation thanks to more unified engine and transmission electronic control.

What is the difference between a Ford AOD and AODE transmission?

the aod uses a cable to adjust line pressure. the aode has a electical connection the right hand side of the trans that controls the epc pressure ,torque converter and shift solinoids.

What is the difference between AOD and AOD cable systems?

The only difference between the two cable systems is how they adjust and lock down. It boils down to how far you’re going to pull the cable and move the throttle valve to modulate line pressure. With some earlier AOD applications, you have a toggle-style adjustment at the throttle body.

Where can I get an AOD conversion kit for my Ford?

AOD conversion kits aren’t always available for all Ford applications. Some AOD swaps involve custom crossmem-ber fabrication. Fabrication shops and hot rod shops are good sources for custom AOD and AODE/4R70W cross-members. If you can provide the dimensions, most shops can fabricate the crossmember you need.

How do I adjust the TV cable on my AOD?

On the notched rail, you have MIN (minimum), MID (mid-way), and MAX (maximum) cable travel. The key is to adjust enough cable tension into the system so line pressure corresponds with throttle position. This is the AOD’s factory TV cable adjustment with sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI).

How do you service a B&M AOD transmission?

B&M builds and ships a remanufactured AOD transmission with new clutches and bands, seals, and any hard parts as needed, including bushings, bearings, and roller clutches. These transmissions are factory calibrated and ready for operation. All you need to do is service them with fluid and a new B&M torque converter.
