DESCRIPTION
AOD is a 4-speed, fully automatic transmission which combines automatic shifting with 2 fuel saving features: an overdrive gear ratio and mechanical lock-out split torque path in 3rd gear. AOD transmission differs from similar Ford C-6 automatic transmissions in that the planetary gear set operates in 4th gear. see scheme 6
