1986 F150 Trans Code 'T'. Which tranny is it?

It's an overdrive automatic (it has both 'OD' and 'D' on the selection switch), so which one is it:

1. C-5 Automatic
2. C-6 Automatic
3. Automatic Overdrive

What I need to know is what the 'T' code on the inside of the door sticker means.

thanks.

The only one of those that is a four speed overdrive trans is the automatic overdrive (AOD.) The other two are three speed transmissions that do not have overdrive.

The AOD was also the only overdrive transmission Ford had in 1986.

The tranny stick recommends Dexron II. Is there an upgrade or should I stick with what it says?

Plain ole any brand Mercon/DexronIII will work fine.
