tranny swap question August 13, 2009, 01:39:27 PM I am working on my new TC project and I have come to the part where I am searching for an AOD to go behind the 5.0. now the car is floor shifted and I plan to keep it that way. so here is my question, when swapping from the A4LD to AOD is it plug and play or am I going to have to go deeper and change mroe things? and will any AOD work for this swap or will it have to be tbird/cougar specific?

tranny swap question Reply #1 – August 13, 2009, 05:05:47 PM You will need a v-8 aod. not sure if the shifter will work it has an extra detent in it. and I think the drive shaft may be to short. plus you will need to hook up a tv cable for the aod. Quote Selected
tranny swap question Reply #2 – August 13, 2009, 10:27:20 PM Also cable is different on the A4LD shifter vs the AOD, levers are different on column shift AOD vs floor shift... A Stang AOD is the better transmission, the ones from Super Coupes are best, but lever is different from the Fox chassis AOD... Can be modified to work, I drilled mine out so the Fox bushing would fit... Quote Selected

tranny swap question Reply #5 – August 14, 2009, 12:30:57 AM The column shift levers are at a different angle than floor shift levers... Will have to open the transmission and swap levers from a floor shift AOD... Cable adjustment is at transmission lever on the A4LD and and on the shifter lever for a AOD(or was it other way around?)... Anyway the A4LD shifter parts won't fit a AOD without modification, not sure it's possible as already mentioned the A4LD shifter has a extra detent... Also need the shifter cable bracket for a AOD(bolts on rear of tranny at extension housing)TV cable levers bolt on externally, most are same... Quote Selected
tranny swap question Reply #6 – August 14, 2009, 11:45:42 AM when the last owners removed the tranny they left everything as far as the cable backet that bolts to the tail shaft and the TV cable is there. I might have to make something to make the crown vic one work funds are really tight. Quote Selected

tranny swap question Reply #8 – August 14, 2009, 03:00:44 PM If you do get a column shift aod you can turn the shift arm 180 to make it work for floor shift, its not hard and free. Quote Selected

tranny swap question Reply #11 – August 14, 2009, 09:42:59 PM question about the shifter shaft flip. how is this done exactly? from what I see I am going to have to pull the shaft out completely and make some changes. Quote Selected
tranny swap question Reply #12 – August 15, 2009, 03:39:54 AM Take the pan off, There's a big nut near the end of the shaft, I think a 1" wrench fits it, don't remember. loosen it enough and you will be able to flip it around. once you get in there you will see how it works. It's quite simple. Quote Selected
