I have a 1993 Ford Explorer 4X4 with the A4LD transmission. I installed a rebuild kit recently and everything seems OK except the Overdrive section does not engage when shifted into overdrive. When I shift to OD the vehicle tries to move the vehicle on level ground only but it is not engaging fully enough to drive the vehicle. I adjusted the OD band to two turns CCW from 10 ft-Lb tight that did not seem to change anything. I have a feeling that the reversing clutch in the OD section may be installed backwards, but I thought I installed it in accordance with the ATSG Technical Service manual (27Y02) instructions. The bearing has a larger OD lip (retainer) on one side than the other. I currently have the clutch installed with this large lip of the retainer facing outside the overdrive center shaft gear it rests into. Is there any definite way to tell if I have installed the one-way clutch backward? Would the other gears1-3 and reverse still work normally if I had the OD one-way clutch in backwards? Do you have any other suggestions of things I can check before I un-install the transmission again? Thanks for helping this new member. Mikee
