87-88 AOD TV cable found a NOS one. September 02, 2009, 10:30:07 AM I need a TV cable for a 87-88 5.0 T-bird or Cougar that has a column shifter. It's a bit different at the end that connects to the AOD than a floor shifter TV cable. Quote Selected
87-88 AOD TV cable found a NOS one. Reply #1 – September 02, 2009, 12:09:28 PM I have a TV cable out of a '91 Lincoln Mark VII on my car and it works great. The cable came with the engine I got from the Mark VII. It even had the Brass TV bushing and pin. Quote Selected
87-88 AOD TV cable found a NOS one. Reply #2 – September 02, 2009, 12:56:01 PM Is your car coulmn or floor shifted? The column shift cars have this goofy cable/bell crank TV set up. I might try a TV cable from a floor shifted fox (Mustang or Mark VII) to see if it works but I'd like to see if I can find the correct column shift cable. Quote Selected

87-88 AOD TV cable found a NOS one. Reply #5 – September 02, 2009, 01:38:32 PM Mine still uses that goofy bell crank setup. The TV cable runs from the TB to the bell crank setup on the trans. The bell crank then actuates the TV lever via a rod. Quote Selected

I thought the cable from a floor shift car was longer but I guess not if the one from a Mark VII fit. Quote Selected
87-88 AOD TV cable found a NOS one. Reply #7 – September 02, 2009, 06:18:25 PM I'm still looking for a stock 87-88 5.0 TV cable as the yards by me don't have any fox 5.0 cars. Someone is bound to have one and save me the trouble of digging one out from a car at the wreaking yard, if I find one Quote Selected
