a4ld

2 months ago I picked up a clean 92' 4x4 with 113K on the odometer. The X had an automatic that had just been rebuilt, with 8K in the rebuild. Car was owned buy a little old lady that only drove it to the market so I figured all was good. This morning (8K later) trans does not want to shift out...

So I hear that a lot of people with the A4LD automatic transmissions have had a lot of problems like mine. My buddy was going to send his 94 Ford ranger XL I4 Auto to the scrap yard. It had a coolant leak and the trany did not have N or R. Both N and R would drive forward. He is not very...

Morning all! Sorry, but I accidentally posted this in the new members forum, don't know how to delete that thread... It is Memorial Day Weekend and I am about to undertake my first A4LD service with the inspiration of so many of you. First off, thank you ALL for so many postings that detail...

I want to convert my auto to a manual in my 91' Explorer 4x4. Can anyone out there give me the laundry list of mods that I will need to make to make this work? I understand the two trannies swap perfectly on the crossmemeber and transfer case fittings. What mods are necessary for the...

'91 explorer 2wd. i've finally got back to my no 4th gear problem. after insuring voltage to the solenoids, i pulled the pan and found that the cast "block" that the end of the adjuster goes into is missing in action. i can see the intermediate band adjuster, but the 4th was just the end of...

1994 Explorer Sport - best vehicle I have ever owned - 378,000miles - original motor and transmission. Transmission full-flush service about ever 30k 1. About 6 months ago the truck seemed weak/slow getting up to speed - it would take-off fine, but after 2nd gear it seemed to take much...

A spring was installed in the transmission case worm trail to trap large machining chips, and reduce engine stall complaints caused by the stuck converter lock-up valve in the main control of the transmission. This spring should not be installed in transmissions built prior to 8/21/91.

Truck Specs. 1986 Ford Ranger 4WD Regular Cab. GVWR Code = Y Engine : 2.9l 179 CID V6 Trans : A4LD I got this Truck free to fix up. The old A4LD was not in it when i got he truck. I picked up one from Pull-A-Part that came out of a 1986 B2. This will be my 1st trans install...

My A4LD started acting strangely on me, It was reving incredibly high in first, and would not shift into 2nd until I had been at high rev for a couple of minutes. 2-3,3-OD shifts were fine though. I decided to do a filter/fluid change to see if it helped at all. After I changed the fluid I turn...

I have a 1993 XLT that I love, sadly the transmission went out about 6 months ago. I don't have the money to have it replaced at a mechanic. I have worked on cars for years, but have never done anything with transmissions. This is completely new ground for me. Now here is my situation, The...

Hey I just went through my valve body and don't know the torque specs. Anybody have those handy. I have to fix the threads on one hole because they came out on the bolt. BTW this tranny was rebuilt last year (probably with and air wrench). The radiator leaked into the cooler lines. It had been...

Well I have a 92 explorer with a trans from a 94 explorer and an HD torque converter. well it has the all too popular problem. when its cold it wont shift out of first. I can put it in 2 manually but as soon as I put it in D back to first. it does this with letting the truck warm up at idle for...

Hi to all. This is my first post in the forum because i am too bad writing in English. I am Spanish and i have a 4x4 94' Explorer with automatic transmission. I am having problems with my transmission. My first transmission was changed in the Ford workshop because it was loosing oil...

I rebuilt the trans in my 87 XLT. It has an A4ld trans. It has only one electric solenoid on the valve body. If the wires are reversed, will that stop it from shifting?

I drive a 91' auto with 171,000 with an AL4D (4 wheel drive). I have 3 problems (but they all may be the same): 1) About 2 months after installing a used transmission my transmission won't shift or something. It will shift late, be at 3000 rpms at 45mph and around 5000rpms at 70. After...

I put this tool in this place to prevent the drill bit from going too far into the bore when the drill bit goes through the end plug.

This is the end plug from an A4LD which was stuck in the bore. I had to drill a hole in it to attach a slap hammer.

This photo describes the differences in the A4LD center supports, sealing rings, and clutch plate specifications. All Ford part numbers are shown.

"Bulletproof" this?
