While millions of Ford RWD cars are equipped with the durable and simple C4 and C6 transmissions of the 1960's, early in the 1980's Ford replaced those old designs with the AOD transmission for a new generation of cars. Overdrive gears, once popular before WWII, were now becoming popular again, as manufacturers were under increasing pressure to raise fuel economy to meet increasingly demanding EPA standards. A nice bi-product of that was more comfortable cruising speeds, at which your engine didn't have to work so hard, as well as increased fuel economy.
If you plan on researching or working on any one of these overdrive models, this book is a vital addition to your workbench or library.
