DESCRIPTION

Note. The Ford AODE-W (wide gear ratio) transmission is also known as 4R70W.

Note. For testing and diagnostic procedures of electronic components, refer to

1. For models with the EEC-IV Engine Control system, see «AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS - AODE & AODE-W W/EEC-IV»(/ford/crown-victoria/i-1992-1997/remont/automatic-trans/#diagnosis-aode-aode-w-with-eec-iv)
2. For models with the EEC-V Engine Control system, see «AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS - AODE & AODE-W W/EEC-V»(ref-55590)

AODE/AODE-W is a 4-speed, fully automatic transmission with electronic shift, converter clutch and line pressure controls. The AODE/AODE-W uses a double-pinion compound gearset to produce 4 forward speeds and reverse. The transmission uses 2 bands, 2 one-way roller clutches and 4 friction clutches to hold or drive the planetary gearset members. (Scheme 2)

Shift control solenoids provide gear selection and are controlled by the EEC-IV microprocessor. For additional information on the EEC-IV system, refer to the appropriate G - TESTS W/ CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

The EEC-IV system has self-diagnostic capabilities. Fault codes for faulty engine and transmission sensors, switches and circuits are stored in the PCM and may be retrieved to aid diagnosis and repair.

CLUTCH & BAND APPLICATION CHART

CLUTCH & BAND APPLICATION CHART

ROAD TEST

1. Check minimum throttle upshifts in "OD". Transmission should start in 1st gear, shift to 2nd, then shift to 3rd, and finally shift to 4th gear at approximately the speeds shown. See appropriate SHIFT SPEEDS SPECIFICATIONS table. Refer to the following: For AODE, see «SHIFT SPEEDS SPECIFICATIONS (AODE)»(/ford/crown-victoria/i-1992-1997/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-aode-aode-w__shift-speeds-specifications-aode). For AODE-W, see «SHIFT SPEEDS SPECIFICATIONS (AODE-W)»(/ford/crown-victoria/i-1992-1997/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-aode-aode-w__shift-speeds-specifications-aode-w).
2. With transmission in 4th gear (Overdrive), completely depress accelerator pedal. Transmission should downshift to 3rd or 2nd gear, depending on vehicle speed. The AODE/AODE-W will not make a 4th to 1st gear downshift. See SHIFT SPEEDS SPECIFICATIONS tables. Refer to the following menu. The AODE/AODE-W will not shift into 4th gear at WOT. For AODE, see «SHIFT SPEEDS SPECIFICATIONS (AODE)»(/ford/crown-victoria/i-1992-1997/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-aode-aode-w__shift-speeds-specifications-aode). For AODE-W, see «SHIFT SPEEDS SPECIFICATIONS (AODE-W)»(/ford/crown-victoria/i-1992-1997/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-aode-aode-w__shift-speeds-specifications-aode-w).
3. Since closed throttle downshifts are extremely difficult to detect, it may be necessary to attach 0-100 psi (0-7.0 kg/cm 2 ) pressure gauges to forward and direct clutch pressure taps in order to detect Overdrive to 3rd gear and 3rd to 2nd gear coast downshifts. (Scheme 6)
4. With gauges attached, a 4th to 3rd gear coast (closed throttle) downshift is detected by the application of the forward clutch. Pressure will increase from 0-60 psi (0-4.2 kg/cm 2 ). The 3rd to 2nd gear downshift is detected by release of direct clutch pressure. Pressure will decrease from 60-0 psi (4.2-0 kg/cm 2 ).
5. When selector lever is moved from either "OD" or "D" ranges to "1" position, transmission should downshift into 2nd gear if vehicle speed is above 25 MPH, and into 1st gear if speed is less than 25 MPH.

Scheme 6

CONTROL PRESSURE TEST

Note. When testing line pressure, 2 readings must be taken: one at Idle position and the other at WOT.

1. Connect a 0-300 psi (0-21.1 kg/cm 2 ) pressure gauge to main line pressure port tap on left side of transmission case just above control levers. (Scheme 6) Gauge hose must be long enough to read gauge while operating engine.
2. Connect a 0-100 psi (0-7.0 kg/cm 2 ) pressure gauge to throttle pressure tap at right side of transmission case. (Scheme 6) Gauge hose must be long enough to read gauge while operating engine. Ensure shift linkage is properly adjusted. CAUTION: Pressure gauges affect transmission shift quality. DO NOT accelerate or decelerate rapidly. Possible transmission failure could result.
3. With engine at normal operating temperature, apply parking and service brakes. Check line pressure and throttle pressure in all ranges. Pressure should be approximately as specified. See appropriate «CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS»(/ford/crown-victoria/i-1992-1997/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-aode-aode-w__control-pressure-specifications).

Note. Pressure test at idle position must be taken with engine at normal operating temperature. Pressure test at WOT position should be taken at full stall conditions. Run engine at a fast idle in "N" for 2 minutes to cool fluid between tests.

CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS

AODE CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS

AODE-W CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS

Low In "P"

Valve body loose, faulty main oil regulator valve sticking or low-reverse servo leakage.

Low In "R"

Reverse clutch or low-reverse servo leakage. Valve body loose.

Low In "N"

Loose valve body or main oil regulator valve sticking.

Low In "O/D"

Faulty forward clutch, Overdrive servo, main oil regulator valve or loose valve body.

Low In "D"

Forward clutch leakage. Overdrive servo leakage.

Low In "1st"

Leakage at forward clutch or low-reverse servo or overdrive servo.

Low At Idle In All Ranges

Low fluid level, restricted intake screen or filter, loose valve body bolts, pump leakage, case leakage, faulty valve body, excessively low engine idle, fluid too hot or main regulator valve sticking.

DIRECT CLUTCH PRESSURE TEST

Note. Shift quality is affected when test gauges are attached to transmission. DO NOT accelerate or decelerate rapidly during test. Transmission failure could result.

1. Attach pressure gauges capable of reading 300 psi (21.1 kg/cm 2 ) to the forward clutch pressure tap and the direct clutch pressure tap. (Scheme 6) Mount gauges inside vehicle.
2. Drive vehicle. When pressure is applied to the direct clutch, note pressure difference between forward clutch pressure reading and direct clutch pressure reading.
3. If the difference is less than 15 psi (1.05 kg/cm 2 ), direct clutch circuit is okay. If difference is greater than specification, there is a leak in direct clutch pressure circuit. Repair as necessary.

AODE SHIFT SPEED SPECIFICATIONS

Note. Shift speeds shown are approximate. All shift speeds may vary somewhat due to production tolerances and emission control equipment.

Note. To determine deceleration shift speeds, release throttle once transaxle has shifted into 4th gear (O/D). Manually downshift shift lever into next lower gear and record speed at which downshift occurs. Continue downshifting and recording vehicle speed until transaxle has downshifted into low gear.

Testing Precautions

When performing stall test, DO NOT hold throttle open longer than 5 seconds. Allow a cooling period of 2 minutes with transmission in "N" and engine speed at 1000 RPM between each test. If engine speed exceeds maximum limits shown, release accelerator immediately, as this is an indication of clutch or band slippage.

Testing Procedure

Bring engine to normal operating temperature. Apply parking and service brakes. Stall test transmission in each driving range at WOT. Note maximum RPM obtained. Engine speed should be within limits. See STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS . If maximum RPM obtained is not within specifications, see STALL SPEED TEST RESULTS .

STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS

STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS (AODE)

STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS (AODE-W)

High Stall Speeds Or Slip

1. In "OD" or "D" position - Check planetary one-way clutch.
2. In "OD", "D" and "1" position - Check forward clutch.
3. In "R" position - Check reverse clutch and/or low-reverse band.

Low Stall Speeds

1. Check engine tune-up.
2. Check torque converter using bench test for stator one-way clutch slippage.

Test Procedures

1. A "No Drive" condition can exist even with correct transmission fluid pressure, because of inoperative clutches or bands. The inoperative units can be located by substituting air pressure for fluid pressure to determine location of malfunction.
2. Remove main control (valve body) assembly from transmission. See «ON-VEHICLE SERVICE»(/ford/crown-victoria/i-1992-1997/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-aode-aode-w). Using attaching screws, install special adapter plate for AODE/AODE-W transmission and valve body gasket in place of valve body.
3. With a rubber-tipped air nozzle, apply air pressure into the appropriate locations specified in the following tests. (Scheme 7) If servo or accumulator does not move when air is applied, clean and inspect to locate cause. If during test 2 clutches apply or clutch fails to operate, check fluid passages in case and front pump for blockage or damage.

Note. Air pressure should be regulated between 40 psi (2.8 kg/cm 2 ) and 90 psi (6.3 kg/cm 2 ). Compressed air used for test should be filtered and dry to avoid contaminating transmission fluid.

Scheme 7

Reverse Clutch

Apply air pressure to reverse clutch passage. A dull thud can be heard when clutch piston is applied, or movement can be felt by placing fingertips on clutch drum.

Forward Clutch

Apply air pressure to the forward clutch apply passage in the adapter plate. A dull thud can be heard when clutch piston is applied, or movement can be felt by placing fingertips on input shell.

Intermediate Clutch

Apply air pressure to intermediate clutch apply passage in the adapter plate. A dull thud can be heard or felt if clutch is operating properly.

Overdrive Servo

Apply air pressure to overdrive servo apply passage. Operation of the band is indicated by tightening of the band around reverse clutch drum. A thud can be felt on the servo cover when the servo returns to the release position as a result of spring force from the release spring. The band will then relax.

Low-Reverse Servo

Apply air pressure to low-reverse servo apply passage. A dull thud can be heard when the low-reverse band tightens around the planetary drum. Movement of the ring gear should also be detected.

Direct Clutch

Apply air pressure to direct clutch passage in the adapter plate. A dull thud can be heard or felt on the drive shaft if clutch is operating properly.

2-3 Accumulator

Apply air pressure to 2-3 accumulator passage. Accumulator piston should unseat and can be detected by inserting a metal rod into 2-3 piston hole. When piston unseats, rod will move.

TORQUE CONVERTER

Note. Torque converter is a sealed unit and cannot be disassembled for service. Replace if found to be defective. The following tests will identify a defective converter.

CONVERTER FLUSHING

Whenever transmission has been disassembled to replace worn or damaged parts or because valve body sticks due to foreign material, converter and oil cooler must be cleaned using a mechanically agitated Cleaner (Rotunda 1400028). Under no conditions should converter or oil cooler be cleaned by hand agitation using solvent.

LEAK TEST

If torque converter welds indicate leakage, attach Torque Converter Leak Detector (Rotunda 2100054) to converter and follow detector kit instructions.

END-PLAY CHECK

1. Insert Tester (T80L-7902-A) into converter pump drive hub until hub bottoms. Expand sleeve in turbine spline by tightening threaded inner post of tester until sleeve is securely locked into spline. (Scheme 8)
2. Attach a dial indicator to tool with button on indicator on converter pump drive hub. Zero dial face. Lift tool upward as far as tool will go and note indicator reading.
3. Reading is total end play of turbine and stator. If end play exceeds.077" (1.96 mm) for new or rebuilt converter, or.100" (2.54 mm) for used converter, replace torque converter assembly.

Scheme 8

ONE-WAY CLUTCH CHECK

Insert fingers into torque converter. Attempt to spin the first splined segment. The segment should spin freely clockwise but not counterclockwise. One-way clutch should rotate freely in a clockwise direction only. If clutch fails to lock-up and hold as specified, replace torque converter.

Stator-To-Impeller Interference Check

1. Position stator support shaft on bench with spline end pointing up. Mount converter vertically onto shaft so support shaft splines engage one-way clutch splines. (Scheme 9)
2. While holding support shaft stationary, rotate converter counterclockwise. Converter should rotate freely without interference or scraping within assembly. Should interference or a scraping condition within converter exist or converter does not rotate freely, replace converter unit.

Scheme 9

Stator-To-Turbine Interference Check

1. Place converter on bench, front side down. Install stator support to engage mating splines of stator support shaft.
2. Install input shaft, engaging the splines with turbine hub. While holding stator shaft stationary, rotate turbine with input shaft.
3. Turbine should rotate freely in both directions without interference or noise. Torque required to turn shaft should not exceed 84 INCH lbs. (9.5 N.m) If interference or noise exists, stator front thrust washer may be worn and the converter should be replaced.
