Ford AOD Transmissions - Rebuilding and Modifying the AOD, AODE and 4R70W

In the 1980s, Ford replaced its reliable C4 and C6 transmissions with the new AOD transmission for its rear-wheel-drive cars. The introduction of overdrive gears, which had been popular before WWII, became important again as manufacturers worked to meet stricter fuel economy standards set by the EPA.
The AOD transmission improved fuel economy and allowed for more comfortable cruising speeds, reducing the strain on the engine.

In this manual, "Ford AOD Transmissions: Rebuilding and Modifying the AOD, AODE, and 4R70W, " author George Reid provides a step-by-step guide to the entire process. This includes removing the transmission, disassembly and cleaning, careful reassembly, and proper reinstallation and road testing.
The book also covers performance modifications, identification of model numbers, design changes, shift kit installation, and torque converter selection.
