Post Re: Throttle valve rod and linkage on 1956 Thunderbird

The 97011-S CLEVIS was 1957 BIRD use.

This is a conversion so it is hard to say what was used for the install. Regardless, you need the FM WSM (available on CD) to properly setup the linkages and use a pressure gauge for final adjustment. This is a throttle valve controlled trans and it will fry.

Try not to drive it until the operation and pressure is verified.
