Auto Transmission Question


my car is a '97 with an Automatic....

My question is how do I know if it is the AODE or 4R70W?

Some site's say its an AODE, some say its an 4R70W....

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the main difference between the two the fact that the 4R70W transmission is a bit beefier, and has the wide ration gear set, with the lower ratio 1st and 2nd gears for better acceleration?

Unfortunatly I can't find it. I've crawled all over the car and can't see any tags on it.

I did however, find the tag on the rear end.....

You have the last year model that had the AODE. The 1998 Mustang was the first one equipped with the 4r70w. Yes you are right though. The 4r70w is beefier than the AODE

You sir are partially correct. The AODE was only in the 95-95 mustangs, anything 96+ has the 4R70W transmission. Now the 98+ trannies are the strongest ones out there though.
