I bought a used AOD trans that the linkage went up ( from a column shift car) and I switched it to being down for my Mustang but now it won't shift from 1st gear, it works in reverse and 1st only, I pulled the trans back out and put my old one back in and used it for a while but it has finally gone out and I need the used one I bought to work, any ideas what is causing it to not shift out of 1st gear?

Can you physically see that when you move the shifter that it is moving the shift lever on the actual transmission? If you haven't already...start here
