AODE Pump 1995-03, used and ready to install. Fits the AODE. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a used OEM front pump for the Ford AODE, listed for 1995 through 2003. It suits the owner or shop rebuilding a high-mileage four-speed on a budget: the old pump has a scored pocket, a loose bushing or a cracked body, and a good used core costs far less than a remanufactured one. Typical complaints that lead here are a Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car or light-duty Ford truck that sits in gear for a moment before it moves, slips more the hotter it gets, or whines at idle. It carries a 1-year warranty and ships from the USA.
The AODE is the electronic version of Ford's AOD overdrive, and Transmission Digest notes the 4R70W followed it about a year later, so the two share much of their front end. The pump is a gear pump turned by the converter hub. It pulls fluid through the filter and supplies everything downstream: the pressure regulator and EPC solenoid set line pressure from its output, the converter is charged from it, and cooler and lube flow depend on it. The pump also carries the stator support shaft and the bushing the converter hub rides in, so a worn pump can leak at the front seal as well as starve the clutches. Sonnax warns that excessive gear clearance lowers pump volume and cooler flow, which shortens converter and gear train life.
Low line pressure has more than one cause, so test before you pull the transmission. A worn pump reads low in every range and recovers somewhat as RPM rises. A worn pressure regulator bore can bleed EPC oil back to the pump inlet and look exactly the same, and Transmission Digest describes an air test at the TV port for it. Our AODE and 4R70W family problems guide covers the pressure regulator and cross-leak faults, and the Crown Victoria shift problems guide helps sort pump symptoms from solenoid and clutch faults on the Panther cars.
The listing covers AODE transmissions from 1995 through 2003. It is not intended for the early 1992-1994 units or for 2004-up 4R70E and 4R75E transmissions, which changed the intermediate piston in the pump. Because a used pump has already lived in one transmission, compare it with yours before installation: stator support splines, bolt pattern, gear thickness and the intermediate piston bore. If your vehicle also needs electrical work, note that ATRA reports a white case connector with soft wiring through 1997 and a black connector with a hard plastic harness from 1998, so the AODE internal wiring harness must match your year. Send us your year and VIN to confirm, compare the remanufactured AODE pump for 1995-2003, or browse the AODE and 4R70W collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is a used OEM pump assembly with a 1-year warranty. If you want a remanufactured unit for the same years, we also list an AODE pump for 1995-2003.
Not as a direct swap. The 2004-up 4R70E and 4R75E pump uses a larger bonded rubber intermediate piston with its own return spring, and ATRA says early and late designs interchange only as a complete set.
A front seal, pump gasket, outer O-ring and stator support sealing rings. Inspect the converter hub and replace the converter if the hub is grooved, and rebuild the clutches if the fluid is burnt.
Gauge line pressure. Low in every range that rises with RPM points at the pump. Normal idle pressure with no rise under load points at the pressure regulator bore or EPC circuit.
Mercon V. Prime the pump with fluid before first start and set the final level hot on the dipstick.
