HELLO EVERYONE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS , IM NEW AT THIS AND IM SURE ILL MAKE PLENTY OF MISTAKES , SO PLEASE BARE WITH ME. HOW CAN I FIND THE COMPLETE REBUILD DIARY FOR THE A4LD TRANSMISSION REBUILD BY GLACIER 991 ?

Hey Glacier. I'm planning on rebuilding my 5r55s tranny in the next week or so and wondering if your posted offer of loaning the pump alignment tool is still valid. Please let me know.

Gotta say I love the 4r70w write-up. Love the detail and pictures that goes along with it. you've helped me so much. Thanks a million

Hello- on local craigslist there is a company(maybe) selling a4ld rebuilds for $499 w/2 year warranty. Think it might be okay? Or totL crap?

Hi, Glacier! I still have the mousepad you sent me years ago...I use it every day!

I think the problem with the shift solenoids: because, due to his own stupidity, did not mark them before removing. The solenoids all different and have (at the coil and the nozzle) there are rooms: 3.1/1.1; 1.3/1.2; 2.7/1.2; 3.4/1.4 respectively. Please help me how to install them correctly. Thank you in advance!

Good day! I apologize for the inconvenience, but asking for your help: after installation on an automatic transmission 5R55Е new clutch, steel wheels, seals, gaskets, servopistons, brake bands, and install in a valve body Superior Shift Kit with new gaskets, lost all gears, no drive, reverse, 1 and 2.

Hi, Good Sir.
I have a A4LD in a 1990 Ranger here in Costa Rica. I've studied your post #52 My A4LD Rebuild Diary - Part 3, 2nd half - Reassembly tagged "Lever removal" but I can't see if I can accomplish JUST this part with the transmission complete and in the truck. Any advice would be appreciated. In addition to the rubber parts, I do have a sleeve in case the bore is worn, which I expect is the problem.

Chris, have you ever seen transmission fluid that was literally silver in color, from ultrafine particles suspended in the fluid, with no grittiness to speak of and no burnt or other symptom? It's summertime and I'm starting to get overheat symptoms (vent tube spitting, pressure loss when hot). Thanks! -edit: converter failure possibly? I've got an external filter as well for better protection (hopefully).

Year, Model & Trim Level:2001 ford,explorer sport
O have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport with no Auto 4X4 or traction control. Therefore the wbm I believe will not work on my vehicle. Does anybody know another way two wiring. A mod to engage my 4 wheel drive system do to a bad 4x4 CM I believe. I would appreciate the input.

Glacier, it's been about 10 years since your excellent A4LD rebuild diary. Could you find the time to comment on things that you learned, would do differently, etc.? I'm contemplating purchasing a '94 Limited that needs transmission work and doing it myself. I don't plan to go as far as you did (I'm no transmission expert) but certainly plan to use your write-up as a guide.

whats ben lee's handle on here? i need to order of those fancy serious explorations license plate bracket for another member that mailed me a radio.

thanks
glen
