i got an 87 crown vic in my garage that i dropped a rebuilt AOD in( friends car. hes a computer geek and i wrench). before rebuild, it would shift from 1 to 2 but no further. fluid was cooked pretty good. now with rebuild, it wont come out of 1st. ??????????

thank you in advance for any and all help.

 

In doing the rebuild did you thoroughly check the valve body for contamination and foreign junk in the bores?

TV linkage adj AOD trans

 

guess i shoulda mentioned i just did the labor of pullin it and installin it. it was taken to a trans shop for the rebuild. IDK the shop and was actually kind of leary whne it came back. it was all painted up realy purdy, but the thing wasnt even cleaned on the outside before painting.
i just aint sure if there was something i could have done wrong, which on an AOD is narrowed down( i think) to the TV cable or the torque converter not installed properly. but i didnt have a problem reinstalling the trans. itligned right up and bolts from the torgue converter to the flexplate ligned right up the bellhousing slid right up against the engine without any problems.
i spent time adjusting the TV cable. no matter where i had it set at, it didnt change the conditions of the shifting at all.

im half tempted to put the trans on my stand and dink with it myself, but i think it'll go back to the shop since its under warranty.

 

ok, trans went back to shop. TV cable linkage internally was messed up and valve body was loaded with crap. in and runnin great now

 

Thanks for the update.
