    Hi guys, recently I installed the Hooker 6901, I took to change the oil and filter of my AOD (crown victoria) and replace the cooling oil lines because were leaking. When I finished I started the engine and tested but I was surprised cus the tranny just had reverse and 1st gear. A friend of mine tried to help me moving the kickdown rod and worked but the 4th gear doesn't work... So I thought was the tv kickdown rod and I bought the lokar set up... With the same result. Any idea what is happening to my AOD? Before I made all of this changes the tranny was working very well.

    Thanks in advance!

    If it has 1st & 2nd, then you're not engaging the inner shaft... That's usually burned clutches from a mal adjusted/loose TV cable or inner shaft broken(got the T-Shirt for that one)... Since it was OK prior I'd retrace the steps, if you don't find anything I'd try another valvebody...
