Inspection Plate for Ford AOD Transmission | Early Bronco Automatic Swap

Finish your AOD conversion the right way with this Ford AOD transmission inspection plate, designed to close off the lower bellhousing and protect the torque converter area from trail debris, mud, and dust. Whether you’re swapping a 5.0/AOD into your Early Bronco or servicing a late-model AOD setup, this plate installs cleanly and restores the factory-style protection your drivetrain needs.

Pro Tip: If your Bronco’s AOD swap came from a donor car or parts pile, the inspection plate is often missing—installing one now helps protect the flexplate and converter from trail damage.
