I have the 94 5.0 GT with the AODE trans. It NEVER slipped. It jumped out of gear and would rev up, but didnt slip. Also, it sometimes "locks up" so tightly in Reverse, it cant be moved. Even if you slip it in neutral it neutral. I saw one posting here that was having the same problem and looks like they might have given up and bought a Bronco. dang, please help. Im open for any suggestions or feedback.
Thanks, I love the site.

Hello, and Thanks for the replies.
ok, in english...
My AODE has never slipped. It jumps completely out of gear. The motor REVS and it only jumps out for a couple seconds. When it goes back in gear...the torque skids the whole car around.(very dangerously) Also, I can drive around the block, stop the car, and when I try to put it in Reverse..it is locked in gear and wont move. The first time it locked in gear, I thought I hit a car backing up, thats how hard it engaged. Someone said this was the locking torque converter.
I have checked the fluid, that all checks out alright and doesnt smell burned. I changed the fluid and filter and it made no difference whatsoever. There was a little sludge in the pan near the magnet but nothing looked bad enough for that to be the problem.

I am thinking that it could be a module or something that effects both the way it shifts AND the torque converter. Is there something called an EEC that is inside the transmission that anyone knows of? I was told a module inside the vaulve body could be the problem.
ALSO....does anyone know if ANY other automatic will fit this car or not?
Thanks to all
