    I'm looking at purchasing an AOD for the mave and found one out of a 92 Van. would this be an AODE or an AOD and would it be the same length as a mustang AOD or longer?

    Mine came out of a 93 E-150, and it was longer, but we had to change the tail section since there was no hole for the speedo cable, the 93 vans sense the speed from the rearend. From what I was told, the truck/van ones are the ones you want.

    The T-bird up to 1993 is the strongest AOD that you will find.
    The AODE requires a computer substitute (available after-market) to run in the Mavs and Comets. The 4R70W is the strongest of all the AOD bretheren and the internal parts can be fitted into the AOD case and used with the late AOD valve body.

    I could be wrong here......

    but they do not make a full manual valve body for aodEs

    In order for it to shift into overdrive you need some kind of control unit.....
    not mention the shift points are controlled by the Control unit.....

    It wouldn't be an AODE otherwise:D

    Actually, yes but shipping from CA probably isn't cost efficient. Is it an AOD or AODE?
