It’s awesome how you are going above and beyond on your daughters Fox! You are a great Dad! 🦊

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Robert, just trying to get her on the road soon so she can enjoy.

[@vrm86gt]

Definitely had that happen to me when my fox was AOD! Went through a couple AOD rebuilds before I manual swapped mine!

[@GearHead704]

oh no! Sorry to hear that but hope you enjoyed the manual. We're gonna see how long we can get this AOD to last for her

[@vrm86gt]

@@GearHead704 love manual, but the aod will last as long as the TV cable is set correctly, especially if its just daily driver use.

[@dntlss]

The problem with AODs is that when they put them in these cars it signed their death warrant,90 % of people that own these cars enjoy romping on them , some constantly and unless a AOD its built up by a shop unlike stock it wont last very long,on my 91 i have a AOD (my 89 is standard) and i had it rebuilt in 98 and its just now giving me some small issues, thats 26 years, not bad for a tranny ,but its like you say "just daily driver use"

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Getting everything fixed. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT

[@GearHead704]

Hey Tim! Thanks and same ot ou

[@dennismcpeek9630]

Thanks for another great HOW TO FIX--------- lesson! Your daughter is one step closer to driving it!!

[@GearHead704]

She's been driving the pants off of it lately. Almost 6k miles.

[@bradydalton6219]

I'll be installing a PA AOD tv cable. Hopefully it works well...

[@GearHead704]

I hope it does!

[@brokentoolgarage]

Super important stuff there! Same concept as the Mopar transmission

[@GearHead704]

Hey broken tool! Thanks for watching and I didn't know that Mopar was the same but it makes sense.

[@TheSeanGTV]

I loved that she named it Halo. Looking forward to seeing it at Foxtoberfest!

[@GearHead704]

I just now got to this comment lol

[@TheSeanGTV]

@@GearHead704 lol all good man lol

[@COLDHRTDKILLA]

This is how I lost 4th gear. Bushing came off. Ive still been killing it with the AOD shuffle. Who needs OD.😂😂

[@GearHead704]

oh no! At the same time this comment is hilarious 🤣. Every day your shuffling!

[@COLDHRTDKILLA]

[@brianr1892]

I did a carb swap on my 86 stick and absolutely it

[@GearHead704]

Carb swaps can definitely be a lot of fun too.

[@jasonthompson8479]

Good job guys!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Jason

[@bendirusso3149]

Another great video. Can you ask Matt his thoughts about proactively replacing a heater core. I am the original owner of an 88 LX with 38k. I getting paranoid that my heater core will go (I know you can relate). Maybe you can talk about this in your next video update on Halo. Thanks

[@GearHead704]

I already know that he would say do it. I've had two go out on me and one ruined the carpet so I"m definitely a fan of this.

[@deadriseful]

It's like Christmas every time I pull up KZbin on a Wednesday afternoon and see a new Gearhead video!

[@GearHead704]

LMAO Sam. Well then, Happy holidays!

[@JH-oh1in]

4R70W swap but the windsor cases are getting more scarce every day. V6 mustangs till I think 01?

[@GearHead704]

I don't know much about anything past 93

[@frank3stangs]

Nice!!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Frank!

[@dntlss]

The aftermarket TV cables are useless,finding a real one is akin to running into Aladins cave, damn, that grommet on the old cable looks new,on mine that grommet after years and years the rubber is almost dissolved,lol

[@GearHead704]

Agreed on all counts. I got lucky and found this one on ebay

[@chantalbanon7185]

Hey foxbody friend. Question about this nightmare of a TV cable. Does it matter if the car has a downer aod ? I have a 91 fox but lord only know what year the aod came from.

[@GearHead704]

Probably a decent idea to replace the cable.

[@deondrerichardson4623]

Can you please link where you got your cable from

[@GearHead704]

I bought it on ebay.

[@paulhudgins5120]

Well you didn't fully break the throttle valve trans cable, it was still working mostly. You need to do better job Matt, at least you could find a new one. Now you need to make sure she can stop and be safe. Knocking repairs off the list feels great.

[@GearHead704]

LOL, I will try harder next time Paul

[@Skidmarks368]

Does anyone know the part number for an AOD TV cable for 1987-93?

[@GearHead704]

I don't, I had to look for the ATV AOD and BoxBody on Ebay

[@ladyreade]

Welcome HALO!

[@GearHead704]

She's been a great addition for sure.

[@thruitallauto2538]

That trans cable was a trap from ford, come on tare the trans up ,so you can buy another one, good luck

[@GearHead704]

Right! Nuts.

[@thruitallauto2538]

@@GearHead704 I’ve got the one LMR sold, hope it don’t tare my transmission out, don’t even think they sell them anymore, got it with a car I bought it was in with all the parts, everything was there tho, they have a video on it tho, wish me luck lol
