AOD Problems

you cant always tell by having it on jack stands, some times you need to drive it on pavement for it to shift....make sure your fluid level is correct, double check your install and drive it and see what she does.....you may have messed somethin up in the vb but, like i said, sometimes you have to have it on pavement for it to shift........and i think the governor is in the tail shaft section ( it is on a c4 ) but im not positive.........but take it for a drive before you do anything else

well, you said you had it rebuilt. did a shop do it or what? did they tell you what all they replaced? did it have any kind of warranty? if all that is right and in order did you have any problems installing the shift kit? sounds like maybe a valve body issue assuming the tranny was done right. take the valve body into the tranny place and have them look at it.......i'm sure this is starting to get expensive but hang in there.........

yeah the shift kit's for these are kinda kooky......especially drilling those two holes through the vb and then installing that goofy transfer tube. mine didnt have the video with it and i scratched my head a few times looking at those instructions. i decided to wait till i installed the vb before i put that cheesy cross over tube on and forgot it....came back from driving it saw the damn tube on the bench so off came the pan again to put the damn tube on....lol.....pain in the a@@.......it'll be worth it though when you hit 2nd gear.....it doesnt just chirp the tires it spins them, depending what rpm your doin.
i'm still tryin to figure out where manual 3rd is though....like, if im in 1st, and manually shift to d, thats 2nd, and if i leave it there it will eventually shift to 3rd, but, what if i want to shift into 3rd before the tranny wants too? do i shift it to od for my manually controlled 3rd? friggin ford i swear....
