RE: "AOD Shuffle"on art carr aod - 7/11/2006 12:24:30 PM    JeffUtica   Posts: 223 Joined: 6/1/2006 Status: offline What valve body does it have? In other words, if it has a "race" valve body it should have an AOD delete switch and you should be to shift it manually and hold any gear. Otherwise, you have to do the old 1-D-1 shuffle. Start in first to hold first gear to any rpm, shift into D and quickly back to 1st to shift into 2nd and hold 2nd to any rpm, then shift into D for third gear. If it has the stock vlalve body or one that does not allow you shift manually, I'd replace it. Lentech sells a great valve body that allows you to shift manually or just put it into OD to shift automatically. It comes with an OD delete solenoid so you can turn it off for drag racing and on for highway use. _____________________________ -Jeff '89 LX '88 GT Magazines: Nov '03 Mustang Illustrated May '04 5.0 Mustang & SF feature June '06 Race Pages http://www.cardomain.com/ride/791057 MOMS Racing# S1178 http://www.momsracing.com/ (in reply to Notchback342) Post #: 4

If it does than you should be able to hold first and second as long as you want. _____________________________ FOR SALE: Alt, Rad Support, Rivet Strips, Tie Rods, etc. http://www.mustangforums.com/m_5136478/tm.htm (in reply to Notchback342) Post #: 8
