Determining transmission model?

Question

1995 Ford E250 4.9L L6 cargo van here. The transmission pan has no labeling or other identification. Lot salesman told me it's a 3-speed, but this same guy also initially told me it was a V8 (it's a straight 6). Gear shifter dial has 'D', '1', '2'. I've been assuming it's a C6 3-speed transmission as this was the 3-speed for 1995 Econolines listed in the Ford factory manual. What would be the indications that this was actually a
4-speed/AOD/E4OD and not the C6? I really know nothing about transmissions, but I have to pick up some replacement bushing for the extension housing and need to be sure about this info.

thanks Jay

>4-speed/AOD/E4OD and not the C6?Uuumm, let's see... When you are driving, does it shift into a fourth forward gear?

I've tried to listen, but it shifts so smoothly I honestly can't tell. Anything in particular in the design appearance that would give it away?

Joe · Answer

There's always something on the shifter that gives them away as far as I know. If the D just looks exactly like the 1 and 2, then I guess it's a 3-speed. I'm not sure when they quit making non-electronic AOD's. I kind of think that being a 1995 it would have an overdrive off switch (electronic) if it had overdrive.

A 1995 would have an OD cancel button on the end of the shift lever if it was a 4 speed. If you have no button for OD cancel, you have a 3 speed transmission. Obviously, if you have a 3 speed in a 3/4 ton van, it's gonna be a C6.

If you havean OD cancel button in the end of the selector lever, it islikely an E4OD.  If there is no OD cancel button, it islikely a C6 3 speed.  It would not be an AOD as they werediscontinued a couple of years earlier.  You can look at panpictures at the link below to figure out which one you have.
