I think you already mentioned that you had pulled the tranny, but the way to check if you actually have the cable adjust correctly, is to hook up a pressure line to the TV port on the pass. side of the tranny. Depending on whether or not you have a shift kit in it, it should be reading around 2-3 psi at idle. If all else is well, I am thinking that there is either a linkage problem at the throttle body end, that, or the TV lever inside of the tranny, right at the valve body, is tweaked, probably during tranny removal from the Lincoln. I would pop the tranny pan off, and see if the lever is pushing the TV valve in properly, or if it is even touching anything.
Second question:
Did you actually swap over the EFI out of the lincoln also? Or did you use a carb? If you used a carb, how exactly did you hook the TV linkage up? A Lokar kit? Or did you use the Ford C-4/C-5/C-6/FMX kickdown linkage that is on most holleys and Ford carbs? Unless you use the Lokar kit, those kickdown setups do not work, as the TV requires full range of motion, following the same arc at the throttle valve....


I have the lincoln motor and tranny in the truck, and still no progress on whats wrong but will keep checking out your guys ideas thanks a bunch..

It's not an AOD-E is it?
What year is (was) the Mark VII?
Death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

The last year of the Mark 7 was 1992, which still used an AOD...the 1993 was the all-new 4.6, 280 hp Mark 8 with the 4R70W

Anyway you can post a pic of the port your reering to, Im doing a rebuild on mine now and would like to check that.  Not to familiar with tanny's hopefully i can learn something.


Here is a view of the passenger side of the tranny.  There are several bolts to measure pressure.  I have the TV pressure bolt removed in these photo's.







I was stupid and tried to remove the bolt in a hurry, ended up stripping it.  Then I had the bad idea to dremel new flats onto the rounded bolt.  Now there aint nothing left to work with.  So if its stuck, be sure to take your time, remove the tranny crossmember to drop the tranny to allow you better access if needed.
