Ford AOD, AODE, and 4R70W Selector Shaft, Flange, & Arm Installation Instructions

Step 10: Reinstall the roller spring that holds the gear
selector plate in gear. Fig. 11
Step 11: Reinstall the 1/8" roll pin. It will align with the
groove in the selector shaft. DO NOT DRIVE THE ROLL
PIN ALL THE WAY IN FLUSH WITH THE CASE! It is
important that the roll pin is sticking out beyond
the casting so it can be removed if needed at
another time.

AODE and 4R70W Only: Reinstall the Auto Trans
Gear Position Sensor onto the selector shaft and
attach to the transmission case using the original
bolts. Make sure the tabs on the inside of the sen-
sor are aligned with the slots in the selector shaft.
Step 12: Rotate the gear selector plate all the way forward
into the "PARK" position
Step 13: AODE and 4R70W Only: Install the new Lokar flange
onto the selector shaft. If using the original selec-
tor shaft, use the original nut or bolt to retain the
flange. If using the Lokar selector shaft, install the
supplied 3/8"-16 x 3/4" lock bolt into the selector
shaft to retain the flange.
All: Install the trans arm onto the new selector
shaft or flange using the three #8-32 x 3/8" but-
ton head bolts and lock washers. When using a
Lokar trans mount, tail mount, or floor mount
shifter with rod-type linkage (not cable operated),
the trans arm needs to be installed at approxi-
mately the 12:00 position with the transmission
in
"PARK". Fig. 13 If using a cable-operated Lokar
floor mount shifter, the trans arm needs to be
installed at approximately the 7:30 position with
the transmission in
"PARK". Fig. 14 The trans arm
may need to be positioned differently to work with
non-Lokar shifters.
The Lokar linkage rod or cable will be connected
to the 1/4" round hole at the end of the trans
arm. The 3/16" diameter hole that is part way up
the arm next to the slot should be towards the
back of the transmission. This hole is used with a
Lokar Shift Indicator Kit.
This selector shaft will work with a variety of other
shifters. The slot gives the ability to adjust the
center distance of the shift linkage at the trans-
mission.
Step 14: AOD Only: Verify that the internal T.V. lever is still
aligned with the T.V. piston. Install the external
T.V. lever, following the instructions that are
provided in that kit. This will prevent the internal
T.V. lever from becoming misaligned.
All except flange-and-arm only installations:
Reinstall the filter and the transmission pan. Fill
with the appropriate amount of transmission fluid.
Step 15: Double check to make sure all fasteners are tight-
ened properly. Continue with the installation of
the shifter mechanism and/or kickdown kit.
