    Help needed to find a part

    I need a stock TV lever for my AOD. Trying to use stock cables and brackets. Anyone have one I can buy.

     Local salvage yard might be an option, the core I got already had one, luckily.

    Yeah done that already. These early stang parts are getting scarce. I was big into fox body stangs several years ago and threw away more parts than I car to mention. Who would have thought this stuff would be hard to come by now.

    AOD's are still plentiful( see Ya shoudda gone 4R70W, Hehheh)
    Try several of your local auto tranny shops, they ought to have some.

    and I should have thought to suggest that in the PM

    Re: Help needed to find a part

    Yep done that too. All the places I've called haven't seen a AOD for years. I've found some but the mustang specific one is different. Well at least the floor shift AOD is different from a column shift as far as the lever goes.  It's also no longer avail thru ford.  I really have exhausted all local possibilities.  eBay and other mustang forums. 

    I may get around to firing this thing il this week. I've been so busy it's kinda taken the back burner.

    Take what you can find and then break out your welder....mod it.  I'm running a Mustang (right side) HO TB on the left side.  I moded  it to work with the stock Towncar TV cable setup. 

    It can be done.
