I had some trouble getting the neutral safety and backup-light switch wired up from the AOD to the painless kit. The starter would work in neutral but not park...was very confusing until I figured out (I think) why. What I have now is that it will start in N and 2 but not P.
I was guessing that my shifter linkage is backwards, the part coming out of the tranny. Back when I was installing this thing there was much discussion about the link that comes out of the selector shaft in the valve body, and whether it should hang down or point up. To make matters more confusing I've seen them done both ways by owners who say it works and it's the correct method. Guess it comes down to whether it was set up for column shifter or floor shifter, but they never put an AOD in a column shift mode for a Mustang did they?
I am now convinced that mine is backwards, I put the driveshaft in last night to confirm it. So I've got to pull the pan, pull the valve body and reverse the shaft right? There's no way to do it from outside the tranny?
