aod linkage
Howdy,
So I went to hook up my AOD to my '78 steering column and find it doesn't work. Suprised this isn't an issue with all I've seen posted on this topic. Could be because I'm installing a Mustang tranny with a cable shift setup? Hooking it up direct results in shifter only able to proceed to neutral. Probably would function, but detents are scrambled so it feels like crap, wouldn't know where I'm at (let alone my lovely wife!), in short, unacceptable.
So I pulled the bellcrank off a '91, had to move the outboard linkage arm inboard an inch to clear the crossmember and slotted the other linkage arm for adjustment. Then I made a linkage from 1/8" x 1" bar stock slotted at the tranny end for adjustment. Seems like it's going to work out.
Might have been able to sidestep this problem with a different AOD, but it's what I bought. Anybody with similar problem?
