AODE Pump 1995-2003, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the AODE. Ships fast from the USA.
Ford parts catalogs and rebuilders often list the 1995-2003 front pump under the AODE name even when it is going into a 4R70W, because the two transmissions share the same pump body, gear size and stator support through those years. If you searched for an AODE pump because your Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car, Thunderbird, Mustang or F-Series is slow to engage, slips once the fluid is hot, or whines at idle, this remanufactured assembly is built for that 1995 through 2003 window.
The AODE replaced the hydraulically controlled AOD with computer control of shifts, line pressure and converter lockup, and the 4R70W followed about a year later with wider ratios. In both, the front pump is a gear pump turned directly by the torque converter hub. It draws fluid through the filter, and its output becomes line pressure after the pressure regulator and EPC solenoid set the level. The pump assembly also carries the stator support shaft and the converter hub bushing, so it is both the hydraulic heart of the transmission and the front bearing for the converter. Wear here starves every circuit at once, which is why pump trouble feels like the whole transmission is getting weak rather than one gear failing.
A line pressure gauge settles most of the question. Pump wear shows low pressure in every range that rises with engine speed, while a single weak circuit points elsewhere. Rule out the valve body as well: a worn pressure regulator bore can bleed EPC oil to the pump suction and look exactly like a bad pump. Our AODE and 4R70W problems guide covers that test, and the Crown Victoria shift problems guide helps separate pump symptoms from solenoid and clutch faults on the Panther-platform cars.
This pump is listed for AODE applications from 1995 through 2003, and the same design served the 4R70W in those years. Inside this range the pump gears are about 0.608 inch thick. It is not correct for the earliest 1992-93 AODE, which used thinner gears, or for 2004-up 4R70W and 4R75W transmissions, which use a different stator support. Pull the old pump and compare gear thickness, stator splines and the bolt pattern, or send us your year and VIN. The AODE and 4R70W collection lists every pump range we stock, and owners who prefer the listing under the 4R70W name can use the 4R70W pump for 1995-2003.
Plan the pump swap as part of a transmission removal or bench rebuild. Install a new front seal and check bushing-to-hub clearance, since the factory bushing is finish-machined in place and thin drop-in replacements can leave the hub loose. Inspect the converter hub drive and seal surface, and replace the converter if the hub is grooved. Use a new pump gasket, outer O-ring and stator support sealing rings if they are not supplied, center the pump with an alignment band and torque the bolts evenly. Fill with Mercon V and set the level hot. If pump wear has already damaged clutches, the AODE master rebuild kit covers the soft parts, and the solenoid and filter kit suits 1995-97 units that are also throwing solenoid codes. Clear adaptive memory after the repair.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
From 1993 through 2003 the AODE and 4R70W share the same pump body, gear thickness and stator support, so catalogs list the pump under either name. Compare your old pump's gears and stator splines to confirm.
Not reliably. The earliest 1992-93 pumps used thinner gears. This assembly is listed for 1995-2003, so earlier owners should send us their VIN before ordering.
No. 2004-up 4R70W and 4R75W pumps use a different stator support, and many have thicker gears. Use one of our 2004-up pump listings instead.
A front seal, pump gasket, outer O-ring, stator support sealing rings, a filter and Mercon V. Inspect the converter hub, and clean the cooler if the old pump left debris in the fluid.
Check line pressure with a gauge. Low pressure in all ranges that rises with RPM points at the pump. A worn pressure regulator bore can mimic it, so inspect the valve body too.
