Which is better a 4R70W or 4R75W Trans?

Which is better a 4R70W or 4R75W Trans?

I have been advised that the transmissions from 5.4 trucks is a better high performance transmission (with a 1999 passenger car valve body added)…than the standard 1995 4R70W trans or even the 1998 and later 4R70W. The “best” trans was identified with a trans. Tag # of XL3P-7000-LA but I am not sure if this is a 4R70W or 4R75W.

What to do if your 4R70W transmission is leaking?

4R70W Parts and Kits on Amazon… Is your transmission leaking? Try Transmission Sealer or Stop Leak …

What kind of transmission does a 97 Ford have?

For example, if you drive 97 Ford, it has an earlier pre-97 connector but at the same time the 4.6/5.4L bolt pattern is available in this car. In 98 and up to 2000, the internals are the same, but there are little changes. What vehicles have a 4r70w transmission?

Is there a trans tag for a 4R70W?

I have observed (12) 1999-2001 transmission tags from 4R70W transmissions and all but one had a third digit of either a 2 or 3. Is it possible that this digit identifies the difference between a 2 bolt starter bolt pattern…ie 3.8, 4.2. 5.0… or a 3 bolt starter bolt patttern of a 4.6, 5.4…?

When did the Ford 4R70W transmission come out?

Ford 4R70W Technical Speci˜cations 1993 1/2: Ford AODE transmission introduced for passenger cars. Ford also introduced the 4R70W transmission the same year which is basically the same transmission except has lower gear ratios in 1st, 2nd, reverse and more overdrive ratio for economy.

What’s the difference between the AOD and the 4R70W?

The AODE and 4R70W have a larger input shaft that connects a locking torque converter to the overdrive unit. The AODE/4R70W is different because there is one input shaft instead of both a primary and intermediate shaft. The AODE/4R70W manual shift mechanism is basically the same as the AOD except it has no linear backup light/neutral safety switch.

What kind of sensor does a Ford 4R70W have?

To better tie the engine, vehicle, and transmission functions together, Ford went to an output shaft speed sensor and manual shift lever sensor, along with a multiplex electrical connector to simplify service. As the 4R70W evolved to the 4R75W, an input shaft sensor was added.

What kind of gearset do I need for Ford 4R70W?

The 4.6L V-8 needs the 2.84:1 and 1.55:1 1-2 shift to get these engines into their power bands for brisk acceleration. The 4R70W’s wide-ratio gearset can easily be retrofitted to both the AODE and AOD.

What’s the difference between an AOD and a 4R75W?

If it’s white its an AOD. If its black then it is either a 4R70W or 4R75W. If you look on the other side of the transmission at the speed sensor, you’ll find that the AOD and 4R70W have a single sensor near the tail of the tranmission. The 4R75W has two speed sensors, one by the tail and one towards the center.

Can a Ford 4R70W be used in an old car?

Despite being a newer transmission and having a completely different case, the 4R70W is still compatible with a vast number of Ford vehicles without too much reworking or adaptation. You can easily retrofit it into many classic muscle cars, giving older vehicles a much-needed boost in both efficiency and performance.

What kind of transmission is the Ford 4R70W?

The 4R70W is a Ford transmission, and generally considered an evolution to the AODE, a transmission that it is often interchanged with. Both are improvements on the AOD, Ford’s first 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission, and its answer to the fuel efficiency issues first brought to light in America by the oil embargo of the 70s.

Can a 1995 4R75W be interchanged with a 1998 4R70W?

Can the 4R75W be interchanged with a 1995 4R70W… after changing the pin assignments on the electrical connector? I have been advised that the transmissions from 5.4 trucks is a better high performance transmission (with a 1999 passenger car valve body added)…than the standard 1995 4R70W trans or even the 1998 and later 4R70W.

Can a 4R70W be adapted to an old car?

While the 4R70W can be adapted even to older classic muscle cars, it does take a bit of work and a bit more cash than updating and reworking your stock AOD. The same goes for cars with the AODE in the 90s.
