Unfortunatly I have too much knowledge about the fords.The ford overdrive uses no tv cable its all controlled by vaccum and pressure the cable u refer to is a kick down on the fords . Simple ,simple ,simple and the tranny (aod) with the 4 in the name is the truck tranny and is by far the most industrial of the ford aods.unless ur a racin ?Rear gear changes are cheap and easy if u know what to do..
