I have a proposal for the following from a local transmission rebuilder. $875 + my old trans as a core, for the following (per the email from the shop): these transmission get a new torque converter,shift kit ,gaskets,any worn hubs,the valve body gets redrilled with a upgrade kit that...

I took my '93 to a local Trans guy, who test drove it with me. My tranny wouldn't upshift to 2nd unless I almost completely let off the gas, so I was thinking either bad vacuum modulator, possible sticking governor, etc. Well, when the trans guy drove it, he discovered that the reason the...

I would think I'd see something about it here, but you never know... Does the A4LD have any external band adjustments? The outside of the case looks like it does (on the driver side). If not, what are these nuts?

And if so, can you recommend a good shop? Tranny problems on my '93. Thanks

Does anyone know of a site that helps locate or rate mechanics or non-dealer garages? I just moved to the Pittsburgh PA area and need to find a trustworthy mechanic, am having problems with my tranny. I would think that a forum with recommendations (or warnings) about shops and mechanics...

And I'm looking for recommendations on mechanics, good parts stores, etc. I'm in Cranberry Township, southern edge of Butler County, about 20 miles North of Pittsburgh. Thanks...

The tranny in my '93 (A4LD) doesn't want to upshift from first gear unless I almost completely let off the accelerator, and then it sometimes wants to rev before it goes into second. Other gears seem perfectly fine, including at highway speeds. I just changed the fluid, filter, and have now...

I'm thinking about doing the flush, and was wondering if anyone has used the method below. Will the transmission siphon new fluid in as decribed by "Greg J" on the maintenance tips page? This is Greg J's Description: My method does not require "pinch-clamps", calibrated bottles, or putting...

I've been trying to address the surging cruise control problem with my '93. I attempted to pull codes yesterday, only getting two codes which I believe related to the test itself (536 and 538). I also used a hand pump vacuum gauge to apply vacuum to the side of the servo that gets vacuum...

I'm trying out a site I ran across, www.junkyarddog.com where you can submit a parts request which is transmitted to member salvage yards. I posted a request for the speed amplifiier module for the cruise on my '93, got a response the same day for $35.00 shipped to my door. It comes with a 90...

I engaged the 4WD on my '93 in a field yesterday just to loosen things up, after not having used it for several months. Even after disengaging and reversing direction to unlock the autohubs, I'm now hearing a pulsing noise when I turn the wheels, very rythemic sound. If the hubs are...

I can't tell from the wiring diagrams in a pretty old Chilton's manual that also covers the Ranger and Bronco II. Is the cruise control speed regulated by the ABS sensor in the rear differential? Or is it the sensor in the transfer case?

When I use cruise control on my '93, there is a jerky, lurchy feel, especially for the first 5-10 miles of use. It seems to smooth out, or at least I must get used to it, the longer I use it. I don't lose speed, then pick up to the set speed, then lose it again, it's more like a very quick...

I just purchased 4 new BFG Long Trails for my '93 Limited with 93k on it. Tires were $100 each + tax, price includes lifetime rotation, balancing, leak repair, full road hazard replacement first year, 50% second year. I was going to get an alignment, but the shop said I had a bad lower left...

I've gotten a lot of good information from this site over the years, and I try to contribute in turn when I can add value. I thought I'd add my experience changing radius arm bushings on my '93 Limited with 91k miles. After reading the posts here and on the maintenance tips page, and getting...

I apparently have a fuel leak somewhere on the top of the gas tank on my '93 - now reaching the ground, and enough to make the sides of the tank and the skid plate wet, and create a nice smell. I pulled the left rear wheel, and of course with the frame and the skid plate, you can barely see...

I'm looking for a ski rack to mount to the factory rack on my '93 Explorer - want to hold 4 - 6 pair of skis. Does anyone have recommendations on which brands that are reasonably priced? Any recommendations for online sources that you've dealt with? Thanks in advance Longs

I'm in need of Radius Arm Bushing replacement (maybe others as well) on my '93 Limited with 80K miles. Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced shop in the east suburbs of Cleveland (Mayfield Heights area) or western Lake County? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Longs

I have a '93 Limited with the factory AM/FM/CD radio. When I turn the radio on, the CD sometimes starts by itself. I then have to push the "stop" button to get the radio on. If I remove a CD from the player, the player randomly "looks for" the disk, making the clicking/engaging sound and...
