    A4LD Swap option from Advance Adapters

    I'm not the owner or "the boss", My title is Sales Director. I usually do not get involved in product development; however, one day I decided to post a simple question on this board. I would like to thank all of you who offered input to this project. You should all stand up and take a bow...

    ford 4.0 trans failure? AA wants comments

    We tested your rig on the rock garden after you left. First we picked up a couple of cases of budweiser. Sorry I broke a few things, but that JBweld fixes broken stuff good! Super glue stops cracks in glass! Sorry I puked on your dashboard and my dog pissed on your seats. Other than that...

    ford 4.0 trans failure? AA wants comments

    first help!! 1 Are all 4.0 explorers electric shift for the transfer case? Why? We may need to make linkage brackets for manual shift t-cases 2. I'm concerned about lengths, The a4ld and Mazda are both around 29" in length. Any other trans used with THE 4.0 that maybe shorter...

    Here is an update. As posted earlier, Diff Wack Daddy (DWD) dropped off his explorer. We discussed several issues: 1. I talked with DWD concerning the build up of his 700r4 transmission. Keep in mind, The aftermarket transmission companies have been refining this transmission for over 20...

    4.0 to Aod adapter from AA

    well, sadly this thread is destined to be closed. It sounds like the bolt patterns are too large on the aod for the smaller 4.0 bolt pattern. I appologize for wishfull thinking. We are not giving up, we are working on a different option

    4.0 to Aod adapter from AA

    I think that I should correct exactly who should volunteer for a prototpe. This should be an experienced business who deals with the explorer and the 4.0 motor rather than an "individual or two" as I stated earlier. I'm not saying here's the adapters, now you figure it out. I'm saying this...

    4.0 to Aod adapter from AA

    Brett, you are right. we have many issues to solve before a product can be released. The issues I have been bringing up are just the basics. If I was to guess on a time period for a 4.0 adapter, I would put the earliest prototype at 2-4 months. I talked with Baumann engineering today and...

    4.0 to Aod adapter from AA

    brian, I'm glad the wc t5 conversion worked well for you; unfortunately, the 4wd version of this transmission are no longer available for AA to purchase. we still offer kits for converting a mustang wc t-5 version to t-case, but this is quite costly due to the 5th gear replacement and shifter...

    4.0 to nv3550 adapter from AA

    yes an nv4500 will be included in our plans, but most mazda/explorer wanting nv4500 have v8 power. Atlas is the only way from there. that is a tall tranny, body lift? I would say yes

    ford 4.0 trans failure? AA wants comments

    well it is obvious the AOD/AODE is the choice based on your opinions. We have decided to start R&D on an adapter to mate the 4.0 block to the AOD. I want to speed up our R&D, I could use some more help to speed this along. Here is a concern, The AOD was only used with the larger 164 tooth...
