transmission type

[JaredPutnam]

maybe a dumb question but i was going through some old papers that came with my 1994 mark VIII referring to services and such performed on the car. One of the papers was from a transmission shop and listed the transmission type as AODE... I thought the transmission in my 94 m8 was a 4R70W... are these transmissions the same or was the transmission shop crazy?

"Same" transmission, but the 4R70W is electronically controlled.

First off, :W to :V

I believe the AOD-E and the 4r70w are more pretty much the same, both electronically controlled; the difference is the 4r70w has a wide ratio gear set...

The brown truck was good to you... What year do you have? When did you get it?

the AODE and 4R70W are nearly identical the 4R70W has the wide ratio gear set and is made of stronger parts to handle more torque.
