AOD linkage shifter parts explained tv link names details ford transmission

[@z06king]

Super clear on TV problem I had. wish I had seen this a couple days ago. need to sharpen mysearch skills. thank you for reinforcing what I need to do. PS, total DIY hobbyist. Never looked inside the trans nor linkage before. Nice job

[@lorenzoochoa3661]

Great video! I was switching up my linkage and the spring fell out without me getting a chance to see where it hooked up. Your video cleared it up for me and was able to mount it up again. Thanks!

[@saneauto]

Thats what I was hoping for when I made this video. Thank you so much for commenting to let me know.

Thank you rdctwens for stepping up.

I need the outer bushing and stud that goes to the transmission to make it ship

[@elcaminokyle6561]

Any chance you’ve got a video just like this for a 1968 c4? Had parking pawl issues so had to replace the assembly, not I can’t get it to shift so want to make sure it’s assembled correctly before installing it back in the car. Best video I’ve found so far so thanks for this!

[@Mattys91gt]

Any help with getting my aod shifter cable to run the correct way so it's straight at the gear selector

[@jonathonbang3186]

Part number is not that casting number thats an engineering number part numbers have usually look like DS7Z-17D957-ACP with a pre middle and end that is a bumber cover number though.

[@thedude4632]

I’m having problems with the seal, 3 seals ruined 😢 putting the shift rod back in. 😢

[@タイソンTyson]

Hey bud do you know much about the au falcon Ute colum shift linkage from the colum shift bit to the gear box I can’t figure out how to set it up so I can finally run my car just done a engine swap an can’t figure this out

[@patrickcooper558]

Oh no i took the whole valve body off to take that out cuz its a 91 f150 old and stuck together. I cant find where to get that bolt from cuz mine broke or what its called all i seen was its called shift linkage. Any tips?

[@Jerry-yn6nk]

Where can I find a new Inner T.V. Shaft? It is the peice that the outer selector shaft slides over. The threads were ruined trying to unassemble. Thanks for any help!

[@patrickcooper558]

Im trying to figure out the same excat thing did you find anything?

[@Jerry-yn6nk]

@@patrickcooper558 I will have to look through my stuff and see if I can find out where I ordered it. I was able to find it, I want to say from a small shop in Michigan that had to ship it. I will look into it.

[@patrickcooper558]

Hey checkin in did you find it

[@Jerry-yn6nk]

@patrickcooper558 Hey Patrick. I have asked around and talked to the guy who ordered it. And we cannot remember where we got it. I will keep looking but I'm almost sure it was shipped in from a small shop on Michigan. I don't know if it's something they carry or just a lucky fluke. I'll let you know if I can find anything about it.

[@Jerry-yn6nk]

@patrickcooper558 So got looking around. I believe the part number is E7AZ7D261A. I'm not sure it this will help you. Not an easy part to find.

[@victorpantoja3474]

Hello, I have a question on my Zephyr aod transmission but it leaks oil from the TV part, what can be done in that case?

[@saneauto]

Hello Victor great name. The Throttle Valve seal is the easiest to replace. when I remove the nut and take the arm off (outside the transmission) there is a seal right there to replace. Just be careful not to push the threaded rod down in there the other end will drop behind the tip of the throttle valve and get trapped. If that happens the pan has to come of to reach in there and put it back correctly. The other danger is while reinstalling the arm and nut if you over tighten the nut or tighten without holding the arm you can damage the other end of the TV rod inside the transmission. Replacing that becomes a whole lot bigger project. Finding a replacement is difficult and expensive.

[@JenninKanata]

great video 👍

[@saneauto]

Hello Jenn

[@johnwilkerson6362]

I broke my shaft or inner tv rod arm on my AOD know where I can get one ?? Thanks for any help finding one.

[@addisonmackett1801]

I just broke mine too lol did you end up finding one?

[@johnwargo2590]

Do you have any of those for sale? I need that one marked E4ZP-AA

[@kylelafferty8106]

i have a bronco.its a 90 model some thing weird goes on where the shift lever moves back and forth.it doesnt go into park and creeps forward when idling. i thought the shift lever was broken loose,but after i have taken it apart and out.i dont think that whats wrong.i was wondering if the rooster comb worn out or something else. ive never messed with transmissions very much but that wont stop me from trying.i wanted to fix so i can go sink it in the mud someplace. oh also the lever still moves with the column shifter in park and the key shut off i tbought i would pick your brain since you know more than me thanks

[@saneauto]

Youll need the Bronco on a jack or safely jacked up so you can turn the rear driveshaft. My first step in diagnosing a "wont hold in park" problem is to disconnect the rod or cable on the arm just outside the transmission. This way you can narrow down weather the problem is in the trans or the vehicle part of the linkage. With the vehicle linkage disconnected grab the arm at the transmission and pull it as far to park as you can. Turn the driveshaft to see if it locks up in park. If you get park this way its the cars linkage. If you cant get park You gotta go deeper in the trans.

[@tempest411]

So, hypothetically, if I wanted to swap the AOD out of my truck and go with a later model 4RW70, I can just install the AOD shift lever into the 4RW70 to maintain the right geometry in the rest of the truck's linkage, as long as I plug the hole in the middle where the TV rod would go, as it would be unneeded, correct?

[@williamblanks8500]

newer models use computers they dont use tv pressure to control the transmission

[@thexlmandingo]

What's that c shaped bracket called that was on top of the shift selector bracket and do you know where I can get one from?

[@KingJT80]

what parts would i need to make an AOD work with a column shift 79 zephyr 302/351 windsor? would i need all the parts from an 80-83 LTD AOD/302 since its similar to a fox?

[@saneauto]

That would be a good start make sure you use the AOD flywheel and driveshaft yolk. Heres a shifter linkage that will make the swap a lot easier. amzn.to/379dBvw

[@KingJT80]

@@saneauto yeah i talked to them since you posted this. in their picture the other end that attaches to the column looks like my C4 attachment except they have just that one rod and mine has several different bent rods. i wonder if i could take it all off and just use the cable and attach their cable to the part that comes off my column? yes i will be using aftermarket stuff but it will have to be a 28 oz flywheel that works with AODs. they makes them SFI or not. ill have to figure out which one EDIT: ididit told me i have to have a certain amount of column sticking out of the firewall to use theirs which is meant for an AOD swap but its a cable and not a rod. the rod would have to be several pieces since its not a straight line to my steering column and i may just have a driveshaft made but try to avoid it if i can but i dnt think i can unless there's an interchange for the car with an AOD

[@JasonHbamaredwingsfan]

Is it possible to over tighten the internal nut on the tv linkage rod? I took an rotated my shift lever 180 degrees so that it faces down so it will work with my shifter. When I put everything back together, the TV cable arm on the outside of the case is very tight. It does not move as freely as it should. How tight should that big nut be on the inside?

[@saneauto]

You need to pull the pan and check to see if the TV arm got between the valve body and the tip of the Throttle valve. 4:20 in the video

[@JasonHbamaredwingsfan]

saneauto after I watched your video, that's what I think may have happened. One other question. My aod is an older one, like 82 or 83. If I get a newer 4r70w to use the internals, will the input shaft work too or will it have to be a specially ordered part? An if you go that route, and need to rebuild it which rebuild kit do you use the AOD kit or 4r70w kit?

[@saneauto]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2e2YX1-mbhqobc This is my AOD with a 4R70W planet set. I will eventually have to make a video showing how to do this. You wont be using the 4R70W input shaft. There is a lot more to the conversion than that. Like I said this will require its own video to explain. I did use an AOD kit.

[@JasonHbamaredwingsfan]

Thank you so much for your help and videos

[@JasonHbamaredwingsfan]

I found a guy selling a 98 4r70w for 50 bucks, he said it makes noises in 1st and 2nd gear. Would it be worth 50 for the parts? He said it was still working fine other than the noises.

[@dntlss]

The guys that designed these things had to be aliens,i have rebuilt motors,rear ends,front ends, you name it but when it comes to these things i thread very carefully and only take off the minimum i have to to finish a repair, ill translate "im scared to death of automatic transmissions", ha ha ha ha I have to replace my seals on my linkage on my AOD so thank you for this video very much, i did have a question,whats the best way to pull the bigger seal (case seal) out without the proper tool? can it be carefully pried/popped out with a screwdriver being very careful not to scratch the surface?

[@saneauto]

Right, transmissions are the most unforgiving things to work with other than women. ;-) Yes your correct a nice wide flat blade screwdriver with some care will pop it right out. Tech tip clean the hole with scotchbright and a paper towel. then install the new seal dry.

[@dntlss]

@@saneauto Thank you much for the reply,i also forgot to ask, did AOD's not come with a pan magnet? i replaced my pan a few years ago with a pan that had a drain plug and i didn't see a magnet, i also saw a video of a guy on KZbin awhile back doing some work on one and i also didn't see a magnet,seems to me it would be a good idea or is there a reason for it not being there? the women quote was hilarious but so true,id rather work on transmissions,lol

I broke the tv rod what the hell do i do
