Sent you the instructions I have from total performance… from when I installed the cable on my carbed setup. They will work very similar to your fuel injected version. Just email me if you have any questions....I can always take a picture of the setup on mine if that would help anymore.

yeah, i had seen that one but it kind of left me with a few holes that needed filling. I think the explanation you sent me was much better. I appreciate it. I'll see what I can do. I played with it Saturday and I think I was doing it wrong. But this was guessing without a pressure gauge. I need to find one of those.

Sure I will! LOL When this engine/tranny was in the Bad Apple, I drove it an hour and a half to the track, went 11.06 @ 123, then put air in the tires and drove her home! NOW, I'm 350+ pounds LIGHTER. >wicked evil grin< All that on MOTOR. Can't wait.

Seriously, I'm a die hard stick guy, you all know that by now. But I do and prolly always will admit that auto's are more consistant, more reliable, and hold up better. Can't argue with the facts.

Jalan, get at the issues figgured out yet? I told ya these guys would hook you up. GREAT bunch of regulars running around these parts!!!!

jalangst -
The little tool is not the most important part, it just gets you into the ball park. The gauge is the most important part, because it is going to tell you exactly where the trans is at on the TV pressure.

If you look at that email I sent you, total performance details in there how you can make a pressure gauge using an oil pressure gauge, attached to the proper plumbing. I had to borrow a buddy’s gauge that was attached to a 12 inch hose or so...then did it exactly how the instructions say.

With that said, the way the slug goes into your stock application is probably similar, but I have never worked on an Aod in the stock form. All of the Fox bodies I have worked on were stick shift.
(Insert Jesters screams of joy here).

I am going to attach a few pictures of the little aluminum wedge, so you can make one if you want too. You can also call Total performance, and get one for 7.00 (586-468-3673).

Good luck

Very well. One last question....when the car is off and the trottle closed, should the slug be limp, no pressure on it? Just making sure this is the starting point for me. When I got the car back, the slug was limp. I put some pressure on it to make it hold the gear longer. Do I need to return it to 0 pressure when I do the test?

My line has a little tension on it even at idle, but I belive it was ever so slightly. I will check it when I get home from work tonight.
