Hello,
I have been looking into updating my mustang's automatic transmission. The original AOD was replaced with a factory replacement about 5 years ago and it operates like a top. But I'm just missing that performance feel. Something I had always wanted to do was to install a "hammer" style shifter and it seems B&M has done just that with their Hammer shifter that fits with the factory consol. I hear different things from different people. I have a very basic understanding of how they work, but have never used one so I'm not that sure. I want to be able to switch between Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive but also I want to be able to select between all the forward gears (1,2,3,OD). What do I need to do to be able to do this? I've seen videos of people using them in their cars, but when I asked my friends who also have AODs in their mustangs, they say it can't be done with the stock valve body. Do I need a reverse manual valve body in able to do this? or will the B&M Hammer Shifter for the AOD do all I need?
Any help is appreciated. Thank You
