    AOD Shift Pattern?

    Okay, I'm putting in an AOD in place of my C4 when I put my motor and tranny in. Since the shifter lever on the AOD is on the bottom, and the C4 is on the top, I'm curious of the shift pattern. What is the AOD in when the lever is in the forward position? Park or 1st? Thanks guys! -Shaun

    Break-In-Procedure for New Engines
