AOD no upshift

Hey Guys,

Recently, I’ve swapped in a used AOD from a 89’ Town car into my 86’ F150. Had the driveshaft shortened(tail shaft on the Lincoln trans was a bit longer), then encountered a line leak that resulted in a loss of pressure, so I replaced the lines, and topped her off with fluid. First test drive and I realized that it wouldn’t shift out of first. Tv cable seems to be fine.Any ideas as to anything else I might have overlooked? Thanks.

I gather you have checked the level of fluid before posting this and the level was where it should be ?

TV cable is what controls the shifting on that transmission.

Maybe you could ask google, How to adjust TV cable on Ford AOD ? I got lots of options to click on.
