Yes I am freaking spoilt!!! :D Classic tubes lines that are made specific for AOD trans going in 65 mustang


Part MUT-1024-OE

Wow...those look almost just dang near close to exactly like a close cousin to the ones I made for the Heap.

Congrats Gaba. Your trans install will go much easier with a trans jack. Well worth the $90 at HF, less with a coupon.

Once you get the trans bolted up to the motor, with the TC bolts thru the flex plate, make sure the TC has 1/16 - 3/16" play before you attach the 4 TC nuts.

I'm sure you're aware to fully install the TC onto the pump.  When fully installed, the snout should be behind the forward edge of the bellhousing. 

Good luck brother.

HAH!! now that I have the transmission pan on, valve body on and all that, I realize.. did i put the shifter in wrong????


Bullet Bob, rpm , TKO ....anyone who knows..  is the shifter supposed to be pointin south and TV cable pointing north right?? Please tell me if I am wrong.. now is the time I can fix that stupid mistake LOL

Barry is correct. Both of mine are pointed up, as I used a shifter rod  with stock shifter, and the stock TV cable.

I'm not positive on the TV lever, but I believe it's up with stock cable and down with aftermarket, because the a-m cable comes in from the rear.

I read in the plethora of misinformation about AOD swaps online that there isn't enough room to have both the TV and shifter arms in the same direction, but mine fit w/o issue. Another bit of misinformation online is the shifter rod can't be flipped while the valve body is installed. I flipped mine with the trans and vb installed.

That's one reason I never throw anything away till done,,,but then again I never throw anything away ever.

Thankfully VB didn’t have to be removed for the fix but I fixed that issue of orientation of shifter and TV linkage

Here it is all ready

how large is this. and will it fit between the line and the radiator?
can you send me a link to one

Hey Gaba, I don't know how tight it gets installing your AOD, but mine with headers is snug. To ease installation I trimmed the two side manufacturing set up tabs above the red dot in the pic. It made putting the trans up in the tunnel a straight shot with no interference. Thought I'd let ya know.

Here you go

Hey, does that transmission have a dipstick or is it a mutant...

It's got a dipstick. The insert boss is at 10 o'clock from the cooler line female port.

 
Yeah that’s the last part o don’t have

I am looking around for the right dip stick.. I have the dip stick tube , but not stick

Y’all know of where I can get one, not having to spend $45 for the whole tube and stick assembly?

Let me know

Gaba, do you have headers or manifolds? The stock  tube on mine wouldn't clear the headers. I thought of using the tube from the fmx, which fit the hole but didn't clear the headers either. If you swapped an auto, check the old tube for fit.

 
I have manifolds

While the tube may clear , but what about the dip stick depth. You don’t want it to be too short or too deep right?
