Does anyone know if a AODE tranny from a 1994 Mustang 5.0 will swap into a 1994 Mustang 3.8 V-6 with an AODE? Any modifications needed? Thanks.

are the bellhousings different? prolly if so then you'll need a new bellhousing and that should be it since its the same body car

I dont think the AODE has a separate bellhousing though.

if the bell housings are different then youre screwed. otherwise itll fit. it probably is a one piece case soo..i dunno. youd have to look at them and compare the bolt pattern

i know the 5.0 and the 3.8 have diff. bolt patters and i forgot about the casing being one piece

I found the above paragraph on Baumann Electronic Controls web site. The way I read it, it sounds like 5.0/3.8/4.2 all have the same bell housing bolt pattern and are compatible.

I put a add out that said I was looking for a AODE for a 94 Mustang w/3.8 V6. A guy called me and said he has an AODE that came out of a 94 Mustang with a 5.0. Anyone know if this will just swap right in with no issues? I am not sure, but I would say no. I think that the bolt pattern for a 5.0 and 3.8 are the same, but here is why I say I don't think it will work. I did some research and the 94 Mustangs with a 3.8 V-6 (AODE and manual tranny) use the EEC-V system (OBD-II). 94 Mustangs with the 5.0 (AODE and manual) use the EEC-IV system (OBD-I). I think this would make them impossible to swap out easily. Anyone know for sure?

I alsowent and bought a OBD II scanner from a local parts store. I had been wanting one anyway, so now was a good time to buy. Did the scan and there are no codes in the system. That is good news, I guess. I was kind of hoping for some kind of code that pointed to a bad sensor on the tranny. Guess the transmission needs to be rebuilt.

If you look at a 3.8 aod and a 5.0 aod side by side you can see the 5.0 one has a much larger bell housing.

the 94-95 car have longer t5s(about an inch) in fords failed attempt to simplify driveline installation so one would assume that the aode would also be longer than a fox aod

Checked it out! Your talking about putting $575 down and that is in addition to the price of a good 4R70W tranny. Then you are talking about at least another $300 (if you can find one from a private seller) or $700 to $900 if you buy one from a junk yard. Let's just say the mod will cost a cool $1000. For that much, I can go to a high performance professional built AODE. No thanks, I don't have that kind of money......
