@410Fortune @SuperGordo I know there are at least 4 people on this forum that will know the answer to the question below that I will type in bold.
I have been working on my A4LD in my 1992 Explorer of and on for the last few weeks. I never could find my ATSG Manual for the A4LD transmissions. I resorted to the 'lay all of the parts on the table' method. There is one problem though. When I turned the case over gently to get the low/reverse drum out, one part out of all of them got out of order. I reassembled the transmission but just wasn't happy about it and now I have it apart again. Below is some pictures with descriptions.
The first picture is the 4.0 A4LD low/reverse drum. 2.3 and 3.0 transmissions are different. There is a top brass piece and bottom piece that I don't know the name of.
Here is a picture of the drum flipped over. I think the brass ring on the bottom goes this way even though I had it the other way the first time.
On the bottom, this is the way that I had it the first time.
Which direction does it go?
Over the weekend online I finally found PDF documents that are the ATSG manuals for A4LD and 5r55e (coincidentally on a website from a transmission parts supply business in Ukraine) and wouldn't you know it, in both books this particular part location and direction wasn't clear. I did come across this though.
In the 5r55e they show to use a .7 inch gauge bar with a caliper to measure for a thrust washer. In the A4LD it shows how to make a depth gauge fixture out of an extra center support. The gauge bar that came in the mail this past Monday is the same length as the center support diameter.
Again, Thanks for the help guys!
