IMPORTANT: this B&M AOD
Transpak will fit all 1980 thru 1992
AOD transmissions, except for
electronoic versions. If you are in-
stalling the kit in a four wheel drive
vehicle you will have to purchase a
special (four wheel drive) filter screen,
Ford p/n E5TZ-7A098-C. We do not
recommend using the passenger car
filter screen supplied with this kit in
four wheel drive vehicle applications.
The tool list and parts list are on page
18.
We recommend that you read
through the instructions com-
pletely before beginning the in-
stallation so you can familiarize
yourself with the installation pro-
cedure and tools required.
Check the tool list at the end of
these instructions for the tools re-
quired to install your B&M AOD
Transpak.
Installation of the B&M AOD
Transpak can be accomplished by
anyone with minimum mechanical ex-
perience. It is however, important to
closely follow the instructions. Read
each step carefully before proceed-
ing, if you do not understand, go back
and read the step again.
NOTICE: The B&M AOD Transpak
is not a cure-all for an ailing transmis-
sion. If your transmission is slipping,
chatters or is in poor general shape,
the installation of this Transpak may
worsen the condition. However on a
properly operating transmission in
average condition, the B&M AOD
Transpak will provide the kind of
transmission performance you are
looking for.
INTRODUCTION
The B&M AOD Transpak can be
installed in a few hours by carefully
following the instructions. Transmis-
sion components are precision fit,
work slowly and do not force any
parts. Burrs and dirt are the number
one enemies of an automatic trans-
mission. Cleanliness is very impor-
tant, so a clean work surface from
which oil can easily be removed is
necessary.
This kit contains all the parts nec-
essary to obtain two different levels of
shift performance, depending on the
vehicles intended use. In several of
the steps different instructions are
given for each level:
1. Heavy Duty; Towing, campers,
motor homes and 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Heavy duty level produces
firm noticeable shifts.
2. Street; Dual purpose performance
vehicles, street and strip performance
cars. Street level produces the firm,
positive shifts.
When installing your B&M AOD
Transpak there are several other
B&M products you may wish to con-
sider:
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER We
feel that it is very important that every
vehicle used in heavy duty and hi
performance applications (racing, tow-
ing, RV, etc.) should have an oil cooler.
Heat is the major cause of transmis-
sion failures, and an oil cooler is an
inexpensive safeguard against over-
heating and transmission failure. B&M
offers a wide variety of transmission
coolers to suit every application. Avail-
able at your B&M dealer.
TRICK SHIFT PERFORMANCE ATF
Trick Shift performance automatic
transmission fluid is the industry’s
only real performance ATF. A spe-
cially blended oil with foam inhibitors,
extreme pressure agents and shift
improvers, this fluid assures protec-
tion while delivering the fastest pos-
sible shifts. You literally “Pour in per-
formance.” Available at your B&M
dealer.
DRAIN PLUG KIT 80250 The AOD
transmission is not factory equipped
with a drain plug. The B&M Drain plug
kit is inexpensive and easy to install.
It eliminates the mess of pan removal
and gasket replacement normally re-
quired when changing fluid.
B&M SHIFTERS; B&M manufactures
a complete line of automatic trans-
mission shifters ideally suited for use
with the AOD. These shifters provide
you with positive transmission control
