Another AOD question.

[91 LTD]

Word.

My car is a daily driver so I can't have it down for too long. The used AOD is just a temporary replacement. I'll have my original AOD rebuilt later down the line by a pro shop. I wouldn't trust a complete rebuild to my neighborhood mechanic. A built AOD from Level 10, Lentech, TCT or PA would be sweet and expensive, but worth it!!!

Don't know a whole lot other than starter (2 bolt starter needs 2 bolt tranny, been told almost all were 2), and then tailhousing must be same length. Why don't you want to rebuild yours?

I found another '91 AOD. This one has 77K on it. The other '91 had 66K.

Take whatever has the least miles on it.

I don't think I'll be able to find any '86 AODs. Maybe if I find a parts car or something. When I did the search online, I found a few '92 AODs and one '91 AOD with 66,000 miles on it. I'm going with the '91 if it's still available.

Yeah, get a 1986 and up AOD, better internals

I'll play it safe and get the '91 or an earlier one.

They stopped usng the AOD in early 1992, but so far as I know an AOD is an AOD. Actually a true 1992 AOD is a fairly rare thing, since they stopped using them in like March of 1992. The 4.6 engine that bolted to it is also a bastard block motor thats near impossible to find. The later AOD is generally better since they made some improvements to the internals, but I think those were done in 86 and again in 89 or something.

I'm finally getting off my ass and fixing my car. I did a search for AOD transmissions in the area and the '92 AOD keeps coming up. Are there any differences between the '92 AOD and older AODs? (I found an '91 AOD out of a Grand Marquis, but I wanted to ask this question before I spend any money).
