Hi bronk n blue, welcome to the Ford Barn!
Congrats on the extra clean 87 Bronco, they`re tough to find in that condition any more. Those are some neat mods, it must be a pleasure to drive.

AOD questions

I have a 87 Bronco 5.0 that the trans went out on, due to, I think its called a kick down cable going from throtle body to trans linkage broke. I also have a totaled out 90 Bronco that I use for parts, including, a professionly rebuilt trans with about 7k on it. When I drove the 90 (about 3 yrs ago) I didnt notice any shifting problems at all. But now that I have the trans from the 90 in my 87 (did swap myself) it doesnt want to down shift automaticly from OD to D when coming to a stop. I can shift from OD to D myself, and it does just fine. Is this something I should be worried about? And if so, what steps should I take? THANX FTEs for any info!!!

Hi, this sounds like it could be trouble but you won`t recieve any tech replies in this forum so swing over to the Big Bronco (1978 - 1996) forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum44/ And the Clutch,Transmission, Differential, Axle and Transfer Case: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum69/
Good luck and we`ll see you in the forums!
