AOD Question

i have a 1984 F-150 ranger w/ aod tranny and a 351W. PRoblem is, the shifts seem WAAAAY too long. 1st gear is like 0-40, and the engine is revving very high before it shifts. How can i adjust the shift points. Someone once told me there is a vacuum modulator on the side of the tranny, but i dont see it. Isnt there supposed to be a vacuum line going to the tranny? Because if there is, i dont see one going down there. Thanks for any help.

AOD has no vacumn modulator. You may have a problem with the throttle valve linkage. Make sure it's properly adjusted.

A word of caution: If the truck is driven with the cable unhooked or out of adjustment it can fry you transmission real quick.

ok, well, now that i know theres no vacuum modulator, how do i adjust the shift points? is there a computer on the 1984 trucks to adjust shift points? i need to know how to do this, otherwise, i am going to get a bellhousing adapter and bolt on a c6. But thats last resort. Please, anyone thats knows about the aod, any info on adjusting shift points is GREATLY apprecated.

See if this helps. I still couldn't figure out how to do it, but maybe you can.
