FMX and AOD Shifters

[mustang7173]

Hello Eric,

No worries! We all get busy. Yes, the shifter is bulky and rather ugly! Yes, It stands up in the back like my male tailless cat. Yes, it makes sense.

Another solution

Shortened the throw on my floor shifter by increasing the angles of it's two bends. The Mustang AOD tranny shift lever is shorter than the FMX's which would result in the gear indicator not lining up properly.

Hello Stocktrader,

What electronic control are you using for the 4R70W transmission? Are you using the Baumann Electronic Controls? If I could change the transmission path I took, I would definitely gone electronic. But, I was already committed by the time I found Baumann Electronic Controls.

Sorry bout the late answer.

Yes, both 4R70W equiped Stangs have Baumann Controlers. The older TCS model was switched over to the Vert, and the 331 2+2 has The US Shift Quick-1, new(er) version of the Baumannator controller.

I talked with Baumann several weeks ago, they are working on a controler for the 6 speed R680 tranny. Ideal for a Coyote conversion.

Tubo,

It would be nice to have the 6 speed R680 installed. I have driven several 2014 Ford Taurus's and Explorers with the 6 speed transmission. Thank You for your response back!
