hi all, i'm in the process of putting an aod into my 69 f100. got it installed, shortened driveshaft, hooked up the b&m shifter. when i shift into reverse there's a delay before it engages. it shifts into first with same delay. second is touch and go sometimes is works. 3rd doesn't do anything and no od. the cable is set(lokar). i bought it used and it's supposed to be a good tranny with a shift kit in it. any ideas what it could be. the shop is going to pull the pan tomorrow and take a look but the old fluid was a good color.
the shop did it. he tried tightning it today with no luck. now he's thinking valve body. i'm working 7-12 hour nights a week so didn't have time to do it myself. i almost wish i had taken a few days off.
turns out it was the valves sticking. he put some new ones in and it works well. might have been because it was sitting in my garage for 6 months. makes a big difference in my truck. i just picked it up and wow. going from a farmer 4 to the aod. haven't tried squaking yet but going through town it's about 150% quieter, almost idols going down the road. can't wait to take it on the highway and see how it runs there.
thanks
