Ford AOD Transmission Crossmember Fabrication Diagram with Dimensions

Hand-drawn dimensioned sketch of an AOD transmission crossmember showing 37-inch overall width and offsets.

AI caption · Photo 1245 of 1895

This is a hand-drawn blueprint/sketch titled 'AOD crossmenber' (crossmember), showing a dimensioned side/front profile of a transmission crossmember intended for a Ford AOD automatic transmission. The drawing depicts a long horizontal beam with a raised or offset center section (the transmission mount pad area) and angled/notched mounting tabs at each end. Key dimensions are called out with arrows: the overall length is 37 inches; the distance from the left end to the center section is 23 inches; from the center section to the right end is 14 inches (making the center pad offset rather than centered); the center drop section is 8 inches wide with a 3-inch vertical dimension; and each end is 4 inches tall with a small 2-inch step or tab dimension at both the left and right mounting ends. A reader can use this sketch as a template for fabricating a custom AOD transmission crossmember, obtaining the overall length, the offset position of the transmission mount pocket, and the end-bracket heights. The document contains no part numbers, dates, or vehicle model/year statements — only the AOD transmission reference and the fabrication dimensions.
