Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this linkage fit a Mustang with a factory floor shifter? A: No, this kit is designed exclusively for column-shift AOD applications. Floor-shift vehicles require a different linkage assembly.

Q: How do I adjust the linkage length correctly? A: Loosen the jam nuts, turn the rod to extend or shorten the assembly, then tighten the nuts once the shift lever aligns properly in each gear position.
