AOD conversion

Post by billybob »

Hello. Lost all forward gears in 65 Mercury Comet with C-4 transmission. Considering converting to automatic overdrive transmission. Like to know if conversion kit for a mustang will work for my comet or if there is a kit that is just for the comet. Thank you.

I have a n AOD in my 65 404. Used Lokar floor shifter and works great.Only had to fab the rear member. Do yourself a favor and use the new Lokar TV cable and brackets. Also go online to Monster Transmissions and watch the videos on how to set up. They used a 64 comet as a demo....Good Luck....Ron

FYI - Falconparts.com sells a crossmember that'll fit the AOD:

I have an AOD behind my 289. With my 3.50 gears in the back I cruise at 2200 rpm at 65 mph.
I needed to massage the tunnel with a BFH and trim the support to get mine to fit.
Well worth the effort.
