adjust the TV setting at the throttle body, on the Lincoln for a just firm 1 to 2 shift.


Tighten from the middle out in a spiral pattern 80 to 100 inch/ pounds.

these come from a Lincoln site, is this safe for a stock transmission?

the original question was how to tighten up 1-2 shifts on his AOD

:shrug: You got me Spence. I hate Throttle-Valves.

The idea behind the TV cable is to have soft shifts at low speed/throttle and firm shifts at more throttle. My friend has a TH400 that shifts automatically without a TV cable. It has valve-body with a set line pressure inside, so all shifts are very firm.
