AOD Shifting.... 1,3, 4... where is 2nd??
I have a 91 Mustang GT w/ an AOD Trans. The gear selector by the shifter says 1, D, (o) (overdrive) (THE USUAL... how they all are). Ok... When I'm at the drag strip I hold it down into "1" and shift up into "D" for 2nd. If I leave the gear selector in D for more then about 1 second going down the track the trans shifts into 3 (too early for the track). I found a "work around" for the problem. When I shift from 1-2 I quickly move the gear selector back down into the "1" position (after I feel it shift into 2nd) and the transmission stays in 2nd until I get to the RPM I shift at) and then I shift into "D" and leave it there until i hit the end. Is there a shifter out there so I can just shift 1-2-3 not 1-2-1-3??? A ratchet would be the best. Any suggesting would be great! I know the transmission is working fine, I just want it to work like other Autos I've shifted with in non-ford cars). I just hope this isn't designed into the AOD so it will always be like this. I'm sticking with the AOD so don't tell me to get a stick to do some real shiftin' :-)

Unfortunately, "what you see is what you get" and the only way to keep an AOD in 2nd is to do that 1-2-1 shuffle. It's very hard on the trans, so ONLY do it when racing, then as seldom as possible. However, check www.lentechautomatics.com for their street terminator lockup valve body, I do believe they've gotten around that where you can "shift" 2nd if I remember right.

Yep, they have a patented 1,2,3-4 valve body that eliminates the need for the 'AOD Shuffle'.
