My tranny will not downshift from 2 to 1 when coming down from 3, so I will be driving along, in 3rd gear, downshifts to 2nd, come to a stop, but does not shift into 1 unless I manually put it in 1. What can be causing this? its REALLY starting to get annoying. Thanks in advance for any guidance...

I just put a freshly rebuilt A4LD in my truck 2 weeks ago, now im starting to have problems with it. I've put about 500 miles on it since installation, and it has been a mushy- not solid shifting, slippy kinda tranny since I put it it. I went out deer hunting today and put about 50 trail miles...

Put a new tranny in last weekend and the front pump seal is leaking. I think I buggered it up when I put the torque converter back in. Anywho- I'm going to pull it out again because its driving me nuts dripping qaurter sized puddles every night. There's some little punch marks in the aluminum...

I put a rebuilt motor from PRO-Formance powertrain products in my Ex about 2 months ago. I've only put about 200 miles on it since then... It's got a LOT of noise coming from the motor. I think it may be the valves making the clatter. I've got plenty of oil pressure and did install a new oil...

So when i pulled my motor out to replace it with a new one i had all sorts of stuff unplugged hangin out all over the place. i didnt label any of them because i usually dont have a problem putting wires / hoses back where they belong. except for one stupid wire on the AC wiring harness...

So my rebuilt long block has an annoying knock, any ideas what might cause this? Sounds like lifter noise but I'm not too sure.

I got a rebuilt long block from pro-formance on friday and put it in my truck this weekend... I started it up and it runs VERY rough, surging from 800 rpm to 3500... What could be causing this? I'm going back tomorrow to work on it some more and don't know where to start other than making sure I...

I'm looking to find a carbed 302 from an early 80's F150, what tranny did ford put behind these motors? What are the differences in these and how an A4LD is controlled?? EDIT: wikkepedia says that ill probably be findin a C6 behind one of these motors, now i see that its a 3 speed collumn...

So I was fiddlin with my trans today, I dropped my VB (shame on me) and when I dropped it, the wires got ripped off the solenoids. My truck won't start now, (no spark, no fuel pump) truck ran fine before I was done. Do the wires for the converter clutch solenoid and the 3/4 shift solenoid have...

I'm on base and I pulled my valve body to remove a chackball, anyway. The wires that go to the solenoids got yanked out of the solenoids because I dropped the VB while they were still attached. I put everything back together and it won't start. No spark, no fuel pump. What's causing my problem...

Okay I'm missing 2 checkballs(I think somebodys messed with it before, should be at LEAST 5, right?) and I was kinda rough with my manual valve index'r, there was black **** all up in my VB now it won't go anywhere, dosent even try to go into gear, what happened?

So UPS just dropped off a load of goodies I ordered from www.bulkpart.com to include, sonnax upgraded boost valve, manual valve index, transgo shift kit, 2 gaskets, 3-4 shift servo, and the ATSG service manual... Wow what a great book with lots of pictures and information!! After reading through...

After I get back from iraq next august (maybe before I leave in febuary) I'm buying a wrecked donor vehicle to yank the motor/trans/computer out of, anyone know how much smaller in physical size the 4.6 is over the 5.0?? I have a soft spot for smallblocks. Anybody ever compared a 351 windsor...

Okay so I checked out www.rustysoffroad.com for heim joints, found rubber ones and the standard steel ones, anyone know which one might be better for this application?? Any better sources for heavy duty joints?? I'm not about to spend the extra cash for longer arms when I've got a chance to...

Okay FORD wants SEVENTEEN FREAKING DOLLARS A GASKET!!!!!! (This is for an A4LD btw) I checked out www.wittrans.com for a source of gaskets, they have the upper for $1.64 or something like that for the .015 oversize, I don't want to order unless I can find both gaskets from the same place. Do...

So I don't have OD, and think it may be the 3/4 shift solenoid. Did a little searching on here couldn't really find what I was looking for. I've read the sticky about valve body rebuilds and am havin a hard time picturing what I'm going to be looking for (I've never worked on trannys before...

Okay so I'm tired of driving down the road at 65 mph / 3100 rpm, I've decided that the OD dosent seem to work because there is no difference in drive and overdrive at that speed, I've has 3 first gen explorers and they have all had this problem (and one 92 ranger that wouldn't redline at 70 mph)...

I hate body lifts and having said that I have no expirience installing them, however I don't want to cut my fenders for bigger tires and that lead me to buy a body lift. So here's the question, do you leave the oem isolators in there and put the blocks on top of them? One more question, who...

I'm looking for links to buy parts online from places others have used with sucsess / not scammed out on....I don't like buying stuff online and having something totally different than what I ordered or incomplete kits.
