What transmission is shown in this diagram?

The Ford AOD/AODE automatic transmission, shown as a side-profile silhouette of the case along with its oil pan gasket outline.

How can I identify an AOD or AODE transmission from this image?

By comparing the shape of your transmission's oil pan/gasket to the outline shown on the left, and the overall case silhouette to the profile shown on the right, both labeled AOD/AODE.

Does this document list any part numbers or specifications?

No. The image contains only the labels 'AOD', 'AODE', and 'AOD/AODE' — no part numbers, torque values, or fluid specs are shown.

Do the AOD and AODE use the same pan shape according to this image?

Yes — a single pan gasket outline is labeled for both AOD and AODE, indicating they share the same pan shape.

This is a small transmission identification graphic (thumbnail) showing the Ford AOD/AODE automatic transmission. The image contains two elements: on the left, an outline drawing of the transmission oil pan gasket shape labeled "AOD / AODE," and on the right, a side-profile silhouette of the AOD/AODE transmission case shown in orange. The caption below the case reads "AOD/AODE." The purpose of this type of graphic is to help owners identify which automatic transmission is installed in their vehicle by comparing the shape of the transmission oil pan (and its gasket outline) and the overall case profile to what they see under their vehicle. No part numbers, torque specifications, fluid capacities, model years, or application data are printed in the image — it is purely a visual identification aid. Readers can learn the distinctive pan shape and side profile that distinguish the AOD and AODE (electronically controlled version of the AOD) from other Ford automatic transmissions such as the C4, C6, or E4OD, when this image is used alongside similar silhouettes of those units (a companion file 'tranny id.jpg' appears in the same album).
