    Another A4LD Bites The Dust

    Hey Forum! I have no idea where to start except that I have pulled too many transmissions on this truck. I think the truck is on its second or third A4LD. Last time, my pump was bad. I cant comment on the shift pattern other than it shifts at about 3.5k. This is largely due to the 3.73...

    A4LD no Drive, only reverse : a rebuild thread

    Hello everyone, first post in this forum that I've been monitoring since my purchase this summer of a 1993 explorer. This car was what we call a "sortie de grange" (yeah, I'm french !) which would be a "barn discovery" in the US. Car started right away, has a bit of rust to tackle, but the...

    Is the TCC voltage supposed to change when you press the accelerator?

    I have been having issues with my TCC locking up WAY too soon while driving. I hooked a multimeter onto the wire for the TCC on the PCM, and when I'm at idle, it stays at 14.04 volts. When I accelerate the voltage starts to drop, once I am over 20mph, it reads around 2-3 volts, and the TCC...

    A few years ago I acquired an A4LD pump housing cutter tool from a small town auto shop that went out of business with some other stuff. The tool has sat on a shelf since then because I don't deal with Automatic transmissions as all my Explorers are manuals. So up for sale is a tool to bore for...

Had it towed to a shop which didn't even look at it for a week so I gave up and had it towed home. I will be pulling the...

    AL4D blown front seal and no O/D problem

    At the end of last week I noticed that my o/d did not seem to be working. I attributed it to the fact that on the road I was on my speed was varying to much due to traffic. This past Saturday I was heading out to meet some friends to go do some ice fishing and realized that since I had the...
