Not sure but that may be an AOD-E which if it is, it requires a computer to shift it.

one last question? I calles a local installer and he told me I would have to change the tailshaft in the tranny for it to work becquse the mustangs taileshaft is shorter. any truth in that?

The Mark VII got a longer tailshaft, but the Mustang one should be the same as the Cougar/Tbird one.

You don't have to change it. The Mustang and T-Bird/Cougar AOD's have identical sized tailshafts. The Mark VII one is longer.

Exactly...it's virtually the same transmission. The only differences that my mechanic has ever found between a Mustang AOD and all the other AOD's is the addition of a few more clutches for firmer shifting. And that can be done to any AOD.

one final question. ive decided to try to do it in my friends garage to save alittle cash. that being said, he said hes never done it in a Ford and is kinda unsure how easy or hard it may be. does anybody have like a how-to diagram or something that we can maybe use.

make sure to check the speedo gear. I know mustangs use a cable drive speedometer while the tbirds have electronic senser, i am unsure if all stangs had it though.
