Every one of ATSG's detailed transmission books is a bible for the automatic transmission shop, the general automotive repair shop, technical professionals and restorers. This one — the Ford / Mercury AOD-E Transmission Rebuild Repair Manual — is going to save you time, save your customers money when you streamline productions, and build your reputation by leaps and bounds.

This manual is nothing like a Chilton or Haynes DIY manual where they dedicate 8-10 pages for an automatic transmission. You won't get very far with a Haynes manual; however, this ATSG manual is laser focused on what you need to know for an AOD-E / 4R70W automatic tranny rebuild. It is intended for the experienced mechanic or someone brave enough to wonder if they can manage the project in the garage. (We'd advise you have a studied eye on hand to advise. Even with this book, we're talking a hard core project that laymen struggle with.)

The AOD-E transmission is a rear wheel drive, four speed automatic overdrive. It resembles the hydraulically controlled AODs and includes a torque converter clutch. Working on this baby takes a level of study and experience most professionals get on the job. But even they will find this manual useful while navigating service procedures, repairs and complete overhauls. Highly detailed graphics blown out to show and name all parts you're working with, along with numbered step-by-step instructions, are all going to make your life easier.

Note: You should also consider ATSG's AOD-E/4R70W Green book. It's the update for this manual and will be coming to the Motor Bookstore soon.
