Hello again. Long time, no post. Last summer I tried to set the land world speed record at Bonneville (missed it by ~ 2.2 mph) and raced the AHRMA Nationals at Miller Motorsports Park. Kind of lost focus on the explorer transmission work. Anyway, I want to finish this project and that...

Where to start...? While removed and installing a used but rebuilt A4LD in my 1991, I noticed oil collecting at the bottom of the V6 oil pan. Brown engine oil, not trans. fluid. I assumed that it was the rear main seal and so pulled the flywheel off the other night (putting a Sonnax crank...

Does this part fit in the center of the flywheel (flexplate)? (between the crank and a 1993 A4LD; 6-hole crankshaft). Should I take this to a machine shop to be pressed out and the new Sonnax one pressed in? The Sonnax (2nd) link below claims that it is a simple drop in replacement but when...

Long time, no post. I've been racing almost every weekend since mid-May so the A4LD swap and external upgrade (see: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1453742&postcount=13 for list of external 'upgrade' parts) has been very slow. I finally removed the bad transmission from my...

Looking at the wiring diagram for a stock subwoofer amp from a 1995 Audiophile system. Diagram shows two power wires (pos. & neg.), to output wires(pos. & neg.), two input wires(pos. & neg.), and an "enable" input wire (connection #2 on left side of amp image). Image of 1995 Audiophile...

Found a diagram on this list for a 1995 but not for any of the first gen. audiophile systems. Anyone have a diagram for the 1991? Trying to wire the stock sub amp & subwoofer speaker to aftermarket HU with preamp-level RCA output. I think my sub amp might be dead but not sure how to test...

Model: 1991 EB with premium audio system (e.g., stock has a subwoofer in back and two stock amps). I just installed the main amp by-pass and the four door speakers now run fine from the Kenwood head unit. I also checked to see if the subwoofer was getting power and checked the ground wire...

I have a Kenwood KDC-X579 that has several subwoofer controls and I would like to use it in a 1991 EB with the 'Audiophile' sound system. The Kenwood has an internal amp that will drive the door speakers but I would like to keep the 85 watt subwoofer amp to drive the little subwoofer in the...

I read through this post but as it deals with the 2000 year X, I'm not sure that the info. is correct for a 1991 EB 'Audiophile' system. How to wire to use the factory sub-w amp on a 2000 model year: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154055 I'm installing a nice Kenwood...

This is not the exact Kenwood I am installing but its close and it is the exact same size as the one I am installing: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-3CI3uX7cIgt/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=113MP732 Crutchfield states that: "To install this item, you'll need to modify your vehicle." When I...

Can I replace the TCC and OD solenoids while the valve body is still attached to the transmission (an A4LD)? The transmission will be out of the car so if I screw something up I could yank the valve body. If I felt lucky, how about the Sonnax Boost valve...

I'm sure that I read somewhere on this forum about what to do and what not to do when re-connecting an A4LD to the engine but I can't find those postings. I seem to remember something about how NOT to knock the torque converter or pump out of whack. Will be installing a 1993 4WD X A4LD...

The only flare nut wrench I have is a 10mm x 12mm but the X transmission fluid line nuts look much larger than that. Are the nuts at the transmission end metric (14 or 15mm) or standard pitch (9/16")?

Haynes (page 7B-5, left column; 1992 ed.) says to simply "remove the transmission filler (dipstick) tube (see illustration 6.18)." I've been looking at both illustration 6.18 and at my 1993 4WD X for several minutes and I'm not seeing this. It looks like there is a mount tab bolted to the...

maintenance suggestions for used A4LD while out of X? (Servo & Governor upgrades) I'm pulling a known good A4LD from a 1993 EB 4WD and installing it into a 1991 EB 4WD. I remember reading that there are a pair of servos that can only be replaced when the transmission is out and that the...

Removed the transfer case from my good (better anyway) 1993 A4LD and upon separation from the transmission lots of transmission fluid came out of the back end of the A4LD. As per the Haynes manual instructions I had not yet drained the transmission fluid. I had already drained the transfer...

The Haynes manual doesn't say that they cannot be re-used but this posting does: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1133071&postcount=4. Well, I think the Haynes manual doesn't say that; I'm not at home and I can't find my extra manual. So what's the scoop? If I loctite the...

Need to replace a broken e-brake cable on a '93 EB 4WD. Anyone know of a site that details this procedure? I couldn't find one on this site. Mine in broken just about in the middle as it runs along the frame rail.

Recently bought a 1993 EB 4WD for parts. Left side frame rail is currently on jack stands, right side wheels are both blocked while I am pulling transfer case and transmission. Obviously, I applied the e-brake after letting X roll against the wheel blocks. While removing the drive shafts on...

drive a '91 EB 4WD w/o the tow package but with the optional extra trans. cooler. Recently bought a '93 EB 4Wd parts car with the tow package (extra trans. cooler, LSD rear end, rear bumper w/ trailer hook points, and breaker style trailer light receptacle). I've already swapped the rear...

Driving a 1991 EB w/ the Audiophile stereo; cassette mechanism in head unit is broken. Took it out to look at it and several springs and wheels fell out on the floor. (nice). Recently bought a '93 EB parts car that had the factory stereo/CD player out of the dash and laying on the floor...

The Haynes manuals in both the 1991-1992 and 1991-1995 versions do not list removal of that exhaust crossover as a required (or even suggested) step prior to removing the A4LD. However, I've read many times on this list that removal of that ex. pipe (the section with the O2 sensor) is part of...

I have a nice 1991 EB 4WD that I want to keep but which needed a few parts. I recently bought a 1993 EB 4WD because I needed the transmission and I liked the wheels and hwy. tires. The 1993 has a loud rod knock. Things I'm planning on pulling off the 1993 to keep but don't (yet) need...

I just bought a 1993 EB 4WD to strip for parts to put onto my '91 EB 4WD. I must be living right; I bought the '93 for the A4LD, wheels, tires, cylinder heads, CD player, and a few other odd things. Imagine my glee when I discovered that the '93 has the D4 limited slip rear end (all that for...
