AODs don't use vacuum modulation, that's why the TV cable adjustment is so important. Start there.

FORD AOD Automatic Overdrive
LIFT TAB TYPE-TV CABLE ADJUSTMENT


1. Lift tab up to unlock adjustment assembly.
2. Have someone push the accelerator pedal to the floor. While the pedal is floored, push on the throttle body arm to make sure it's bottomed out and actually wide open throttle. (Adjust throttle cable, if necessary).
3. While the pedal is to the floor, lock the tab on TV adjuster.
4. Mark this spot tight to the adjustment assembly with a knife or other thin marking device. This is the MAX TV mark.
5. Unlock the tab and slide housing towards bare cable 5/16" and lock tab. You can use a 5/16" bolt as a gauge. Make another mark up tight against adjustment assembly. This is the MIN TV mark.
6. Make another mark midway between MAX and MIN. This is MID-mark.
7. Adjust to MID-mark and road test.


FORD AOD Automatic Overdrive
BLOCK TYPE-TV CABLE ADJUSTMENT

1. Pull/push TV cable and block assembly out of throttle arm rubber grommet.
2. Have someone push the accelerator pedal to the floor. While the pedal is floored, push on the throttle body arm to make sure it's bottomed out and actually wide open throttle. (Adjust throttle cable, if necessary).
3. Push the locking tab up through the adjustment block, with a pocket screwdriver, so that the locking tab is standing up next to clevis pin as shown in the picture.
4. While someone is holding' the accelerator pedal to the floor:
Pull the cable rail HARD towards the end of the cable with one hand, at the same time engage the clevis firmly into the throttle arm grommet.
Engaging the clevis automatically locks the tab by pushing it into the block.
5. Pull the block adjustment assembly out of the grommet:
Make a mark, on the rail, with a hacksaw blade or knife up against adjustment block.
This is the MAX TV mark.
6. Make another mark 5/16" from the max mark out on the rail. (Use a 5/16 pan bolt for a gauge.) This is MIN TV mark.
7. Make another mark midway between MAX mark and MIN mark. This mark is
average or MID-mark.
8. Unlock the adjustment tab. Set on MID-mark and lock tab. (Push it down into block.)
Install into throttle arm grommet and road test.




ROAD TEST
In manual "3" it must have 3-2 kickdown at 50 mph (passenger cars).
CARB AND THROTTLE BODY INJECTOR MODELS: Seem to work best with setting
between MIN and MID.
PORT INJECTION MODELS (Standard): Start with a setting just under MID.
HIGH OUTPUT Port injection models: Start with setting just a hair over MID
Adding TV to attempt to correct pinging, chugging or lugging won't work. It Just causes thumps, bumps and extra wear. Set the TV so that the shifts are smooth and not late.
