Did the '92 and '93 Mustangs have AODE trannys or AOD trannys? I always assumed they had the AOD, but I was shopping for tranny parts today and came accross some B&M stuff for 1992 1/2 and 1993 AODE cars.

AOD exclusivly through 1993 in 5.0 Mustangs Greg. FoMoCo switched to the AODE in 1994 in the V-8 Mustangs. Alex

Thanks, Alex. I guess they were parts for a different model of car... perhaps the Crown Vic or something. Now I'm going to buy a shifter for my '92 AOD!

What kind (brand) of shifter are you looking at Greg? Alex

I'm looking at the B&M Hammer, since it fits in the console. I really like the Hurst Quarter Stick, but judging from their catalog it's only for the C4. Holcomb Motorsports makes a kit that allows you to install the Quarter Stick inside the stock console. I'm going to e-mail them to see if there's a Hurst for the AOD.

Hammer look like a neat piece Greg. Why are you changing the shifter anyway? Alex

Hey Greg, if you have a stick car and are converting to an Automatic, I would still just use a stock shifter. It will work just as easy, if not easier, and will fit a whole lot better with little effort. Also the shift cable is designed for the AOD in a fox body car with a floor shifter. Piece of cake to find a donor car in a yard for a shifter and stuff. When I sell my AOD race trans, I lan on giving the TV and shift cables with it.

Well, it's an AOD car now, but I'm changing the shifter for a couple of reasons. Most importantly, I want to add a custom look to the interior of the car. I'm planning on restoring/customizing the interior a little (after all, one of the seats is just plain ripped), and I think the shifter would be a nice accent. Also, I may take the car to the track, and it's nice to be able to bang up through the gears without fear of throwing it into reverse.
