I was trying to get my linkage installed and was trying to gently bend the TV cable lever on the AOD and it snapped off. After taking a really good look at the lever, it looked like it was bent a few times before, stressing the metal. Not sure why.

Anyway, does anyone have a trashed, or parts AOD from an early 90's car that I can get the lever from? I could go to the pick and pull but my local one is not very good and all the cars are sitting on flat tires or hubs, so it is very difficult to get under them. Any help would be much appreciated.

It's not that easy to just climb under, remove the pan and pull the lever. There is a small pin that retains the lever in place that needs to be pulled. The pin was a rolled up piece of very thin, strurdy sheet steel. It was a bear to remove while the tranny was on my engine stand. Never would have been able to remove it under a junk car. MAy be mine was the exception for removal but it sucked!

I'm not going to say it will be easy, but with the correctly sized punch (usually brass) the roll-pin should come out handilly. Getting it back in might be different though.

Actually I am talking about the outside arm for the TV, it's held on with a nut.
