AOD tag info help?

[snake]

Can anyone help me identify which AOD I have??

Tag reads:
PKA DS2
028927 A27
E8 SP BB

Thanks!

PKA = transmission model
DS2 = Service I.D. level
028927 = Serial number
A27 = Build date - A=month (January), 27=day(27th)
E8 SP BB = Assy. part number prefix/suffix (E8=1988, S=Thunderbird, P=auto trans, BB=revisions)

Thanks Keith - Does that info indicate if its a V6 or V8 trans?

Is this info on the site somewhere?

Thanks again for the help.

No, I found that info in a quick Google search. I'll bet the 'BB' part of the bottom line pinpoints the exact engine, but I don't have access to that info. I know '88 T-birds could either come with a a turbo 4-cylinder, a V-6 or a 5.0L V8, so you'll have to look at the bellhousing bolt pattern to determine which you've got.

I must be 'internet search in-ept' or something because I've searched for AOD identification info several times with no detailed results like that - anyway - thanks.

Is the V6 BH bolt pattern different than the V8?? I don't know anything about the V6s but I just assumed they were the same as the V8s. I haven't ever actually measured this one but I thought it 'looked like' the sbf pattern. I'll have to take a closer look.

So I checked the bell housing bolt pattern and it matches the sbf V8. If the V6 and 4cyl patterns are different I guess that's all I needed to check. I just want to make sure this trans is from a V8 before spending any money rebuilding it.

Thanks for the help!
