The Winters Ford AOD Shift Linkage Kit 3295 connects a Winters cable-operated shifter to the shift mechanism on a Ford AOD automatic transmission. The kit provides the transmission-side linkage and mounting components needed to properly attach and position the shifter cable at the AOD. The linkage kit gives the shifter cable the correct mounting point and connects it to the transmission shift lever so movement at the shifter properly moves the transmission through its gear positions. Using the correct AOD-specific linkage helps keep the cable aligned and provides the adjustment needed to make sure the position of the shifter matches the selected gear at the transmission. Use Kit 3295 when installing a compatible Winters cable shifter on a Ford AOD transmission or when replacing missing, worn, or damaged transmission-side linkage components. Includes: (1) Linkage Arm – P/N 12504 (1) Cable Bracket – P/N 3249 (1) Seal – P/N 12525 (1) Hardware Kit – P/N 6062 Specifications Specification Details Manufacturer Winters Performance Part Number 3295 Product Type Automatic Transmission Shifter Linkage Kit Transmission Compatibility Ford AOD Shifter Compatibility Compatible Winters Cable-Operated Shifters Operation Cable-Operated Installation Location Transmission Side Application Winters Shifter to Ford AOD Transmission Fitment Designed For: Ford AOD Automatic Transmissions Compatible Winters Cable-Operated Shifter Installations Fitment Notes: This is a transmission-specific linkage kit for the Ford AOD. Do not assume linkage kits for other Ford automatic transmissions will interchange with the AOD. The linkage positions and connects the Winters shifter cable at the transmission. Verify that your transmission is a Ford AOD before ordering. Final cable adjustment is required after installation to ensure the shifter and transmission gear positions match. FAQ Why does the Ford AOD need its own shifter linkage kit? The Winters shifter itself can be used with different transmission applications, but the parts that connect the cable to the transmission are transmission-specific. Kit 3295 provides the linkage and mounting components needed to connect the shifter cable to a Ford AOD. What does the AOD linkage kit actually do? The linkage kit mounts the shifter cable at the transmission and connects the cable to the transmission shift mechanism. When you move the Winters shifter, the cable moves this linkage to select the corresponding gear at the AOD. Can I use a linkage kit from another Ford transmission? Do not assume that linkage from another Ford transmission will work with the AOD. Different transmission families can use different shift mechanisms, mounting locations, and linkage arrangements. Matching the linkage kit to the transmission is an important part of a proper Winters shifter installation. Why is cable adjustment important? The shifter and transmission need to agree on where each gear is located. Incorrect adjustment can prevent the transmission from fully reaching the intended gear even though the shifter appears to be in the correct position. After installation, check the complete gear range and verify that every shifter position corresponds with the transmission. Can Kit 3295 be used to replace missing linkage parts? Yes. In addition to a new Winters shifter installation, Kit 3295 can be used when the original transmission-side linkage or mounting components have been lost, worn, or damaged.
