Transmission comparison between C4 & AOD August 22, 2010, 11:28:58 PM I recently acquired a 1984 Thunderbird with a C4 transmission and was wondering how the C4 compared to the AOD from my 83 Cougar? I want to make sure that my cougar which is going to be my primary transportation has the best option available. I have no previous experience with either of them pros/cons so that is why I am asking here. Thanks much. Quote Selected

Thanks much.The C4 is a non-OD transmission and (basically) a non-locking C5 which was the predecessor to the AOD. If I were to put one in a daily driver, I'd go with the AOD. Quote Selected
