crown vic p71 trans?
 

what tranny came in the mid 90's crown vic cruisers?? was it the 4r70w?? there is no door jamb sticker or one in the glove box. 96 to be exact. thanx in advance.

In 1996 it was the 4R70W.

thanx. its time for a fluid change want to make sure i get the right filter.

Early '92 : AOD
Late '92-94 : AODE
'95-04 (at least) : 4R70W

But I'm pretty sure the AODE & 4R70W use the same filter. All 3 use the same pan. The correct fluid is MerconV. Don't use anything else.
