    A4LD stuck in forward, even while in neutral and reverse.

    Ahh, finally. Update Here is the update I promised. Finally got the tranny put back together. Used my alignment tool from www.transpartsusa.com, side note, I had to take a brake hone to the inside of the tool to get it down over the input shaft. When building this tranny details,details...

    A4LD stuck in forward, even while in neutral and reverse.

    Yeah if its like mine, then them clutches and steels are junk, needing replacement. I did order my alignment tool and Sonnax hoot-en-dooter from Transparts USA, Do you get a commission BrooklynBay?! Kidding, they seem very prompt on getting parts out. I assume the Sonnax part has instructions...

    A4LD stuck in forward, even while in neutral and reverse.

    p.s. Sorry I forgot BrooklynBay: I take it you recommend that Sonnax sleeve? And also what kind of pump alignment tool to have / recommend? The tranny shops around here want to charge 60 - 85 bucks to set up the pump alignment. I've found the tool for 80 bucks on the net, so...... what do you...

    A4LD stuck in forward, even while in neutral and reverse.

    A4LD stuck in forward, even while in neutral and reverse.

    Same problem For what its worth, my A4LD was doing the same exact thing. I tried the cheap way first w/ doing the shift kit (Transgo) per one of the sticky threads. But that didn't work so I dropped it out and am going through it now, heres what I've replaced so far: had the torque converter...

    A4LD Linkage centering pin removal - Help!

    Hey guys, I'm in the middle of an A4LD rebuild, only thing holding me up from the hot tank is that pesky little steel pin in an aluminum case, that won't come out. Tried pulling, twisting w/ needle nose Vise Grips, all the while making smaller. So I resorted to drilling an all so small hole and...
