T-5 to 4R70W swap. What do I need?

[JH96GT]

I'm thinking of going to an auto (torn cartilage in left ankle) and am looking hard at the 4R70W's. I've got a lead on a 95 4R70W.

Will that year model work, and what else will I need to swap my T-5 to this? It is going in a 1986 Capri. I've tried searching, but haven't found much.

Thanks.

Is this out of a 95 Mustang? because the 4R wasn't put in the Mustang until 1996.

The 4R is the next gen of AODE and does work with a 5.0L engine. You'll need a means of controlling the trans since it's electronic.

Get with Mansonozz - he put a 4R in his fox.

The later 4R70W trannies are much heaveir duty than the early models. The '95 is only rated to about 350 HP. Starting in 1998 the 4R70W unwent major changes and can handle up to 500 HP.

From what I've read got one out of a 4.2 99+ truck. They are rated at 450 an have the right bolt pattern for a 5.0. you will need a stand alone computer too. If you were closer I'd see about trading you my fairly recently rebuilt aod (with upgraded torque converter an input shaft an valve body) for your t-5.

Just my luck.....lol

Thanks for the info guys. (Thanks Hissin, I'll get in touch w/ Manson )

How do I tell the difference between the AODE and the 4r70W? Also, how easily can I beef up the pre 98's? If this one out of a 95 is indeed a 4R70W, then I'm basically getting it for free.

Thanks for the info guys....
