1992 Ford E-250 trans replacement Throttle Valve cable

[cmangle]

I am replacing the AOD tranny in my 1992 Ford E-250 conv. van.

I am hearing horror stories about making sure the throttle valve cable is adjusted correctly or I could burn up the replaced tranny.

Is this something I can do, I work as a mechanic in general and have broad mechanic skills wit the exception of tear down/rebuild tranny experience.

"IS THERE" a major problem with this "throttle Valve" cable that I should be aware of and can I re-install my used trans without the assistance of a tranny shop/technician?

Check on http://www.ebay.com/ look for a used Ford Factory manual.
A lot of transmission specialty houses sell a manual just for this transmission.
Basically its getting the linkage correct so it shifts at the correct speed. A plastic grommet in the throttle linkage is a major problem area. The dealer used to sell them.
My Ford's always used a rod but on cars with a cable always buy a dealer cable as they are a lot better.
