Lokar KD-2AODHT Hi-Tech Kickdown Kit for Ford AOD Transmission

Does exactly what I needed it to do and the price was good.

Installed this in a '50 model Ford with a 302 and AOD transmission. The car has never shifted so smoothly! Lokar states that this is for use with Holley carburetor only. I used it with the Lokar bracket on my 2 barrel Motorcraft 2100 carb and it worked perfectly. I did have a local transmission shop install the cable and adjust because I wasn't comfortable with setting the correct pressures.

Using this on a F100 Street rod. Adapted to my 302 and AOD with the Lokar shifter very well.

Good points: High quality materials, will likely be kicking down that transmission for the rest of the car's existence. The instructions were good in detailing how to set up the transmission shift point.Bad points: considering it's a custom kit, designed specifically for this application, I thought it was kinda weak and would likely be problematic for anyone who isn't really hot rod savvy. The instructions were an absolute bear, and I ended up just cross-referencing the pictures to put it together properly. Also, an angled bracket comes with it, which is clearly not on the correct angle (the pictures show it bent properly, but if you're not paying attention it will definitely screw up the alignment). Finally, the return spring for the kick-down wasn't strong enough - had to add a secondary carb spring to help the lever reposition where it's supposed to. Worth the money? Yes because it's the only thing out there!

Super Quality Product. A must have if you are placing a Ford AOD tranny in your project. Excellent functionality. Follow instructions, and insure that you have the proper throttle valve pressure before you drive the vehicle (35psi in drive and <5psi in park).
