the AOD will need a kick down cable and possibly a vacuum line
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
So let me ask... "In your opinion, Is the AOD or the AODe the better way to go" ?
I would think the AOD over the 4r70, a close ratio would be better, less RPM loss for the hills around here, I would luv a 6-sp but the $$$ go up fast when you start talking electronic 6 speed trans.
Thx for the input.
