FIOD AODE 4R70W 4R75W [80-UP] Automatic Transmission Bushing E E

For FIOD automatic transmissions. The front reverse clutch drum bushing is a single, high-wear component inside the automatic transmission, and replacing it correctly starts with sourcing the right piece for the right unit. This bronze bushing is specific to the front position of the reverse clutch drum found in FIOD, AODE, 4R70W, and 4R75W transmissions, covering applications from 1980 forward.

When the bushing at this location wears, the drum loses its centering support. That allows lateral movement on the shaft, which disrupts fluid circuits, accelerates seal wear, and can cause pressure drop in the reverse circuit. Fitting a correctly sized bronze replacement at this position removes that play and lets the drum run true again.

Bronze is the specified material here because it handles the combination of rotational load and heat that this drum position sees during normal operation. It machines to close tolerances and does not gall against the shaft surface the way softer materials can over time.

This listing covers one (1) bushing, front position, reverse clutch drum. The article ships at 1 lb. No clutch packs, steels, seals, bands, or other transmission parts are included. If your rebuild requires additional components for the FIOD, AODE, 4R70W, or 4R75W, those must be sourced separately.

Before placing your order, locate the identification tag on your unit and confirm the transmission model code is one of the four listed here. The same vehicle platform sometimes used more than one transmission family across model years, so matching the code on the case is the only reliable way to confirm fitment.

• FIOD automatic transmission: worn front reverse clutch drum bushings cause shaft play and pressure loss; this bronze bushing restores proper fit and stops those failure points directly.
• This listing is for the bushing only. It does not include clutch discs, steels, seals, or any other components. Verify your full parts list before ordering.
• Bronze material holds tighter dimensional tolerances under heat and load than softer alloys, making it the correct choice for this high-cycle drum location.
• One (1) front reverse clutch drum bushing, bronze. Article weight: 1 lb. Part fits FIOD, AODE, 4R70W, and 4R75W automatic transmission units.
• Before ordering, confirm your transmission code matches FIOD, AODE, 4R70W, or 4R75W. Check the unit tag for the exact model designation and build year.
