Sean D 31 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 All, I am in the process of collecting the parts for my AOD swap. Can anyone tell me what slot size is needed for the 69 OEM shifter linkage bolt to the transmission arm? I want to use the fully adjustable one from Lokar: http://www.lokar.com/product-pgs/autotrans-access-parts/accessparts-product-pgs/fordaod-selctarm.html Lokar offers two sizes that would be based on the bolt size from the stock shifter bolt at the transmission. Can anyone tell me which one to use?

det0326 179 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 Don't know if I can help or not. Don't know what year AOD you have either and even if it makes a difference. I can tell u what I have . I have an 83 that's not in a vehicle and a 91 mustang AOD in my 69. I just measured the hole in the sifter arm on the 83 it has a bushing with a 3/8 hole in it and couldn't measure the 91 in my car but it appeared to be the same size just by looking. If I was going to use the Lokar I think I would get the 5/16 one. What I did with mine was turn the AOD sifter arm 180* to the top because the one I have was cable operated in the original 91 mustang and was turned toward the bottom. I made a new hole in the OEM 69 floor sifter to correct the ratio. You could also correct the ratio by drilling a new hole at the AOD sifter arm but I found it easier to modify the floor sifter arm.
