Aftermarket Shifter for A4LD

[Boggin]

i got 2 trucks with floor shift and i would WAY rather column shift, i hate that floor shit.
id say you can buy one for an aod and fab something up to make it work, with cheapthrills helping you, your truck might come out on 1-tons and swampers with a v8 or soemthing.. lol

Yes the ones for the AOD are what you are looking for. The Art Carr site does say its for a A4ld. You will still have to work at fine tuning your linkage but you will have to do that with any after-market shifter. Good luck, a good junkyard may be able to help you get a column that fits your rig with the cables and brackets too, Columns are easy to replace and no trouble to get things hooked up. Not sure what all years but Explorers are RBVs and early '90s are pretty common in most yards. I picked mine from a '91. cable, gear indicator, wheel, shaft, brackets all for under $50.

If there is any way to do a cable shift setup, I would do that in a heartbeat over building or modifying the stock linkage, even if it means buying something. Cable shifters are just so easy to set up.

I know that floor shifters are out there for the A4. I knew a guy who had a floor shifted A4, and I think I saw one in my local JY once, but I can't remember where it was.

ALL first gen trucks with automatics are floor shifted.

I used 87-93 OEM Mustang T-handle shifter which has the 1 2 3 OD positions the A4LD requires......it's slightly angled/tilted forward due to the way it was mounted in the Mustang, but it works great!

my bronco II has a floor shifted A4.

just throwing that out there.

edit: actually, you do NOT want a floor shifter for your b2, mine has about nine miles of the most cluster-**** linkage i've ever had to fight with.

lmao, when i dropped my a4, i undid all the linkages, that was a pain in the ASS in itself, when it come time to put it all back together i was like wtf is going on here, brackets and shit everywhere. if i knew then what i know now i woulda scraped the a4ld and went 5spd. but i did a few things and the a4ld is doing better than it ever has
