cable running from aod to throttle?

[Modular2v]

what is it called?

 

[ss93cobra]

Kick down cable.

 

[The Shape]

Actually it isn't a kickdown cable at all. The older trannys such as a C4 used a kickdown cable. On the AOD it is the throttle valve cable. The difference being a kickdown cable is there to make the tranny downshift when you step into the throttle for passing ect.. ect. It can be left off and the only thing that will happen is you will have to manually downshift.

The throttle valve cable on the AOD actually controls the line pressure in the tranny. Leave it off and you burn the tranny up in no time flat.

Throttle Valve cable = TV cable. You may hear it referred to that way as well.

ok if i was converting my car to carb, what would i need to get this to work with the carb set up?

 

[The Shape]

There is a bracket for using an AOD with a carb. I believe it is made by Lokar if I am not mistaken. The guys in the classic forum can tell you for sure since it is pretty common to put an AOD in one of the classic stangs to gain overdrive.

do you know about how much they want for one? i think that im just going to put my liberty four speed in the car if i do end up going carbed

i got a question
ok with the aod and the transgo shift kit it says
"can down shift anytime and hold any gear"
how do i down shift it manually and how do i hold the gear?

 

[wildstang87]

pull the shifter back into whatever gear you want, and shift like a manual. meaning 1,2,3,D.

ok ok ok
im confused
1 d OD r p
thats all i got
so when im stopped im in 1
i drive in 1
and go to d
it shifts to 2
if i go to 1 is it in 2 or 1?
if im in 3 but d and go back to 1
is it downshift to 2 or hold 3?
see what i mean im confused
is it ok to be doing that
driving in d and droping it in 1
im confused can someone shed some light on me

 

[olymaster]

this is what the transgo says
Short, firm shifts with "class". Manually hold 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to any RPM. Manually downshift to any gear at any speed. Holds 4th at high speed/throttle.
so how do i do it?

 

[olymaster]

also after the shift kit aod at like 55-60 doesnt so to say kick down when i wot
just does nothing is that the shift kit?
no big deal i hate od unless im trying to get gas mileage
