Before doing anything, always check transmission fluid or gear oil level first. |
Repair Choices • 3 Choices for Fixing your Transmission- |
• Repairing the Transmission • Install a Rebuilt or Re-Manufactured Transmission • Install a Salvage (used) Transmission. |
• Watch for leaks or stains under the car If there is a persistent red oil leak that you are sure is coming from your car, you should have your shop check to see if it is coming from your transmission or possibly from your power steering system (most power steering systems also use transmission fluid and leaks can appear on the ground in roughly the same areas as transmission leaks.) If all you see is a few drops on the ground, you may be able to postpone repairs as long as you check your fluid level often |
• Check fluid for color and odor Most manufacturers require that you check transmission fluid levels when the vehicle is running and on level ground. Pull the transmission dipstick out and check the fluid for color and odor. Transmission fluid is a transparent red oil that looks something like cherry cough syrup. If the fluid is cloudy or muddy, or it has a burned odor, you should have it checked by your technician who will most likely advise you to have a transmission drain and refill or transmission tune-up. |
• Be alert to new noises, vibrations and shift behavior A modern transmission should shift smoothly and quietly under light acceleration. Heavier acceleration should produce firmer shifts at higher speeds. If shift points are erratic or you hear noises when shifting, you should have it checked out immediately. Whining noises coming from the floorboard are also a cause for concern. If caught early, many problems can be resolved without costly transmission overhauls. |

The AOD (for automatic overdrive) was a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
Introduced in 1980, it was Ford's first four-speed automatic overdrive
transmission. The design is based on the same gearset as the Ford FMX transmission
of the 1960s and 1970s. The AOD replaced the majority of Ford's older transmissions,
including the Cruise-O-Matic and C5. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
