AOD linkage into 66 Mustang

[garycroix]

If anyone else out there is using an AOD transmission, would anyone mind posting a picture of the AOD shifter linkage, where the shift 'selector' goes into the side of the AOD? I'm putting an AOD into a 66 Mustang, and I have it pointed 'up' and I think it needs to be pointed down. Also, the roll pin that holds the 'shifter' in the AOD body got pushed in too far. Has anyone changed the postion of the shifter linkage (up vs. down) without removing the roll pin? I don't want to spend hours drilling it out if I don't have to. I really appreciate any help I can get with this one...whew. Many thanks in advance.

im pretty sure mine points up, but not 100%... try this, put the shifter in park, do the same with trans (park on trans is the first of the three distinct clicks, the drive positions on an aod are kind of just "there") both of the levers (trans and shifter) should be at the rear of their travel.
