|  Personally I wouldn't waste any time. Take it to a tranny shop asap before that AOD fries!

| linkage as long as u r sure you put all the balls back in the passages in the exact spot they said too in the kit instructions, I would think you probably got the linkage put back wrong on the valve body. U need to take a look at a manual if possible, to make sure you got that back together right. If you have any local auto shops that u r buddies with, try to get a photo copy of the valvebody as it sits in the car. I have copies of this, but unfortunately they are forty miles away right now.

| Go back and re-check what you did against the instructions that came with the shift kit. i have installed many kits, amd made a mistake once, but nothing like what you are experiencing. Drop the pan and check the manual valvebody to make sure you installed it correctly. |
