Product Overview
On an AOD transmission, this cable controls throttle pressure—not just kickdown feel. A broken, seized, or misadjusted cable can cause harsh or early shifts and can quickly damage the transmission through low line pressure.
Install and adjustment are critical. Match the 53-inch-style routing, transmission lever end, throttle-body/carburetor end, brackets, drive layout, and AOD application, then set pressure by the Ford procedure before driving.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Match Ford AOD transmission, vehicle year/model, RWD/4WD routing, T76497B/F2TZ number, overall length, both ends, and bracket geometry. Model year, production date, serial number, trim, engine, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this just a kickdown cable? A: No. On an AOD it controls throttle pressure, so incorrect adjustment can damage the transmission.
Q: Can I adjust it by shift feel alone? A: Use the Ford-specified setup and pressure checks; guessing can leave line pressure dangerously low.
Q: What should I compare before ordering? A: Match Ford AOD transmission, vehicle year/model, RWD/4WD routing, T76497B/F2TZ number, overall length, both ends, and bracket geometry.
Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers identify fitment only.
Package note: One AOD throttle-valve cable is included; carburetor geometry correctors, brackets, and pressure tools are not included unless shown.
