I’m waiting for you to hook up the pressure gauge to see if it leaks when you take the nut off and screw in the tester hose. And how to adjust the cable. That I haven’t done as of yet
Hello I too did what you are doing and I did the same with putting too much transmission fluid in and it leaked out. The thing is! You don’t need a yoke on your transmission. Just start it up and add the rest of your fluid. My transmission had no fluid. I added around 5 and it started leaking so I started the engine and added the rest of the fluid. A total of 12L. Once the internals of the transmission start spinning it will stop leaking out the back. I know it doesn’t make sense but it true. The reason I k ow this is because I called a transmission guy who rebuilt my transmission and he told me to just start it up and add the rest of the fluid. He said it will stop leaking and he was correct. Even when the engine was turned off and all the fluid settles it did not leak with out the yoke.
Hi, I’m trying to do the same thing with a Holley sniper and the aod. My only question is; Is the cable bracket the srk-4000 universal one? Or is it the Holley sniper specific tcb-40hs? Of course, there’s also a large difference in price between both, thanks
@@williamtunnell Ah. Well, based on what is shown, I think it’s the Srk-4000 one. That’s good since it’s the cheaper one. Really like the truck and the build even though I’ve only really watched the transmission and efi parts. Thanks
Thanks a lot sir! I’ve been delayed for a while, life, kids, work - I’m sure you know. I fouled the pump on my transmission and don’t have the cash to get it rebuilt again - not yet. I appreciate you watching and writing!
I believe you’re right! I’m going to end up needing a new driveshaft probably - even my new yoke isn’t exactly right (too wide), but I’m going to keep it and get a drive shaft built to mate it. Frustrating.
Jose, a company named LOKAR makes all the TV cables for the different configurations. I got both my FMX cable and my AOD cable from them and both seem to work well. I’ve messed up the pump on my AOD so I’m out of commission at the moment.
@@williamtunnell how did you mess up the AOD pump? was it the adjustments on the cable? I have a 1985 F150 with 302 that we want to put a 4bbl carb on...we have the AOD...so I have been looking all over the place trying to find any videos of someone adding this lokar stuff from start to finish...Your video is as close as I have gotten....
@johnnyb3726 so the way mine broke was that I didn’t have the torque converter fully seated. It “clicks” inward 3 times if I recall and then you have to pull it outward maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch to slip the studs through the flywheel. If you mate the tranny and your TC doesn’t have to slide forward, back it all out and reseat the TC. It breaks easily - doesn’t take much. There’s another video I found on setting the LOKAR kit. I’ll post a link if I can find it again. Very thorough.
This is wrong info and will burn up your transmission. Take all the slack out of the cable before using the tool. Use the tool to set the pressure at 35 psi. And 35 means 35, not 34. Any pressure lower than 35 will burn up the transmission. Any pressure over 35 will cause the shift to delay but not do any damage to the transmission. If the pressure is set too high will cause late and hard shifts.
@@Dwhinery you are correct - what did I say that was wrong? Not arguing, just don’t remember. I certainly don’t want to cause anyone transmission problems.
@@williamtunnell I apologize for my strong use of words. Maybe I misunderstood, but I understood you to say that you inserted the tool to do the initial adjustment. If you do the initial adjustment with the tool and just pull out the slack, you will probably fry the transmission .The initial adjustment is to pull out all of the slack and lock down the clamp with Allen head screw. The tool is only used later to check the pressure with the engine warmed up and running, and the transmission in neutral. Any adjustments after that is done with the adjustment screw on the TV bracket connected to the back of the carb. The line pressure should be set at at least 35 psi or greater. Normally. If you get all of the slack out and TV Cable, the tool shouldn’t be needed, except for a check, because in my experience if all the slack is taken out, it will be at about 35 psi. No damage to the transmission will be done in that case..
@TexarkanaPrepper Brother! There are no words too harsh to keep someone from moving backwards with their tranny! I appreciate the intervention. I need to watch that video again, but I recall that I did pull out the slack and just the slack and tightened down that “barrel” clamp. Then, I put the tool in place and started measuring with the engine warm and in neutral. So I feel better about all that after reading your reply. Thanks! In fact, I didn’t have enough slack pulled out as I was reading 0 psi. I added a little pressure by pulling out on the cable slightly - probably a mistake, but pressure started building, but not up to 35 yet. Before I could release it and start making adjustments, my pump broke and the pressure dropped back to zero. 😩 but everything you posted is correct and I appreciate the feedback. I’ll watch it again - sometimes it’s embarrassing when I do. LOL!
@@DwhineryI just watched this again and you are spot on! I put the pressure gauge in before removing all the slack with that cable stop. This is why I had 0 pressure initially and then had pressure when I pulled out on the cable. Honestly, I’m probably lucky my pump broke and brought it all to a halt! I need to edit this video. Thanks again! Where were you when I was doing this the first time? 😂😂

Hello
How did it work out? I just ordered kit for my 55 ford

Honestly, I don’t recall. I bought it alongside the Sniper - it was made by LOKAR and was specific for the AOD.
@@williamtunnell Ah. Well, based on what is shown, I think it’s the Srk-4000 one. That’s good since it’s the cheaper one. Really like the truck and the build even though I’ve only really watched the transmission and efi parts. Thanks

Would the fmx mount not bolt to the OD?
It wouldn’t, but I sure wish it did!
Good video love that truck I’m thinking the C6 yoke is the same as the AOD

@@williamtunnell I know what ya mean it’s something every time ya turn around lol
I got 302 with 2 barrel carburetor on my 79 f100 my question is I get AOD transmision wich tv cable I need?

@johnnyb3726 not the one I was looking for but this guy does a decent job

would have been good to use Loctite on the flywheel Bolts
Yeah, that would have been good Dennis. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Is it a th400 transmission?
No, it’s an AOD from a 85 Mustang
Your problem is that you got to ford
LOL!
