The AODE is when the electronics came in
The 4r70w is a AODE with wide ratio gearset
The C4 and C5 autos (c5 is a 4x4 version of a C4) were derived from the early pinto c3 automatic. When they added the aluminum overdrive drum the C4/5 in 1986 it became the A4LD we all know and love.....
When the A4LD went electronic (ditch the kick down cable and vacuum modulator) it became the 4r55e in 1995
