Tech Insight

The AODE uses electronic controls and distinct lever geometry compared to the earlier AOD. Proper cable throw and bracket placement are critical to ensure full detent engagement without over-travel. The Winters 3495 linkage kit is engineered to match Winters shifter travel precisely to the AODE transmission’s shift pattern.
