Mustang AOD vs Truck (5.0) AOD

[madonionrs]

I just had my tranny swaped out with a Truck AOD

It feels very similar to my Mustang AOD. What are the differences between the two?

I thought they were the same. I think ford put that thing in crown vics, stangs, birds and pickups in the 80's.

Yeah, I don't think there was anything special about the AOD back then. Maybe a few extra clutches, but I doubt it.

A-servo for the OD band (heavier duty) and maybe the truck tranny had the wide ratio kit installed for towing.

I think......

I'd like to know as well. I've never tried any other AOD aside from my van's and that thing doesn't seem to be as bad as everyone says it is. I can smoke both tires on that huge E150 (with raised fiberglass roof) very easily with a stock 87 5.0L

i have a 90 model truck aod and a 91 tbird aod. the only visual difference is the linkage rod that goes into the tranny. it is for a cable, and the truck used a rod that moves the shifter on the tranny. the other visual difference is the drilled and tapped hole that holds the cable down on the car trannies.

Is there any performance or durability difference between them?
