A/T - AXOD Late Or No Upshifts

TSB 87-20 (Mar)

SUBJECT: FORD AXOD

PROBLEM:
Late, or no up-shifts. Cable appears stuck with the engine running, with is free with the engine off.

CAUSE:
The T.V. system is in a fail-safe mode, causing the throttle valve to become hydraulically locked.

SOLUTION: Adjust the T.V. Cable.

TO ADJUST:




1. Make sure the threaded shank is fully retracted. To retract shank, hold spring rest and wiggle top of thread shank while pressing shank toward spring.

2. Rotate throttle lever to wide open throttle position and release. Note: threaded shank must show movement, or "ratchet" out of grip jaws.

If no movement is observed, inspect T.V. Cable System for broken, or disconnected components and repeat the procedure.

Note
Make "Grip Jaws" lock properly onto the threaded shank of T.V. Cable.
