AOD Problem October 27, 2005, 06:41:17 PM Installed my Aod and motor out of a Lincoln Mark 7 in my 79 F-100 and now the tranny wont shift out of 1st gear. Got all the linkage correct, even the kickdown cable. If anyone knows waht might be the problem any help would be greatly appreciatied. The tranny worked great in the Lincoln, no problems at all. Thanks Nate. Quote Selected

AOD Problem Reply #9 – October 31, 2005, 08:41:15 AM Check to make sure the lever on the side of the tranny that the TV cable attaches to is moving freely. They're pr0ne to sticking, especially if the donor car has been sitting awhile, and when they stick they tend to do so in the WOT position, preventing the 1-2 upshift (it doesn't actually prevent it, it just delays it until redline).

AOD Problem Reply #11 – November 01, 2005, 02:30:26 PM I think you already mentioned that you had pulled the tranny, but the way to check if you actually have the cable adjust correctly, is to hook up a pressure line to the TV port on the pass. side of the tranny. Depending on whether or not you have a shift kit in it, it should be reading around 2-3 psi at idle. If all else is well, I am thinking that there is either a linkage problem at the throttle body end, that, or the TV lever inside of the tranny, right at the valve body, is tweaked, probably during tranny removal from the Lincoln. I would pop the tranny pan off, and see if the lever is pushing the TV valve in properly, or if it is even touching anything.Second question:Did you actually swap over the EFI out of the lincoln also? Or did you use a carb? If you used a carb, how exactly did you hook the TV linkage up? A Lokar kit? Or did you use the Ford C-4/C-5/C-6/FMX kickdown linkage that is on most holleys and Ford carbs? Unless you use the Lokar kit, those kickdown setups do not work, as the TV requires full range of motion, following the same arc at the throttle valve.... Quote Selected
