Do a search on EBAY for "aod". You'll turn up a lot of them. Be careful of condition though. If you buy a cheap one you probably need to find out the cost for rebuilding. Some of the rebuilders seem to have fair prices but make it up in shipping. It can be done though. Chuck in NH

It might be a bit difficult for me to find one. Does anybody happen to know if I can find one online?

Clauss,

      The AOD's are from later Fords, typically mid '80's V8 cars. They're pretty common here, but they do require an adapter and different flywheel.

Is the 57 AOd still possible to get? or are they as scarce as hen's teeth?

Best regards

Good news for me, bad news for OLD Lonnie, Vicky is up and running again!!!!!!   Got the tranny all fixed and the old girl is running great. Lets hope I have no more problems from now on!

Now I just have to keep working on my reaction times..............................oh wait, if I race Lon again, I can push the car down the track to win! hehehehehe

Sorry I didn't have a '56 tranny.  I wouldn't have charged you near that much.  Hope it all works out for you.

Thanks for all your responses guys, I appreciate it. Well as the story goes, I found a 56 Fordo up here from a guy close by. I had to pay $300.00 for the tranny, but oh well I now have some more spare parts!  I was hoping to have the car back today, but my tranny guy just called me and told me they shipped him the wrong clutches!!!! AAARRRGGGG! Oh well, we are into week 4 without the car, and he promises I will have it back next week.

Hopefully this is the only issue I have this summer as I need old Vicky to be in top form to out run OLD Lonnie again as Bob has souped up his Merc to compensate for Lon's sleeping on the line! (sorry buddy, had too! )

I would love to go the AOD route, even better would be to go manual 5 speed, but unfortunatley that's not in the funds right now!

Hey Rob ,

What extension housing are you using ??? I used the FMX on mine . Found out later ,I could have used the FOM .That would have saved me getting a new tail shaft made up . If I was doing another FOM /FMX swap ,I would not go the front imput shaft way .I would go for modifing the front snout on the FMX torque convertor.Only problem with FMX is the weight .FMX autos were still used here in Au up until 1984 .Still concidering my options on auto or 5 speed behind the F100 ??

Howdy,



After getting my adapter and E4OD all bolted up to my 292, If I still had my 57 Ford Fairlane, I would look VERY hard at putting an AOD in it now.



It's not cheep but it would REALLY make it a great driver on the highway!







Cheers,
