I completed swapping in the Crown Vic AOD this week.

I flipped the shifter rod but had pan clearance issues.  So I have to swap the "bent" T-bird rod over into the Crown Vic AOD.  The only problem I had was the retaining pin in the CV AOD.  The T-bird had a roll pin which was easily removed.  the CV AOD had a solid steel pin that was VERY soft.  After 20 minutes of tedious working with pliers and a chisel, the pic was extracted, complete shifter rod swapped and roll pin installed.

Ok i just printed up the shifter swap diagram from eric i will take it with me to ford.is it the bracket i need.but what about the shifter lever and kickdown lever.when i rotated the shifter lever they hit .or will this bracket let the shifter lever go back up top in its original position for clearance issues
