- 94 ranger xlt
First off Hi to everyone. Ive been searching around for a few weeks reading the good info on rebuilding the a4ld. Now i have a question i cant find an answer to. I have a 94 ranger. When i got it the trans was fried. I had an a4ld from a mustang and put it in. It was a single solenoid valve body but after my searches i made it work but had no reverse. We decided there was a stuck valve so i rebuild the original two solenoid valve body with a trans go JR kit. Well now it has reverse but is suffering the slow to engage first and reverse issue. It didnt do this before the valve body swap and all forward gears worked perfectly. It would snap right into first when put in drive. I came back and searched to find out about the low/reverse servo. I did change that when changing the valve body because the kit had a spring mod to be done so i figured go ahead and mod that one so i can just swap them and not have to stop to change parts around. This morning i put the original servo to the trans back in (and made the spring swap on it too). I still have the slow to engage problem. I know all the bands are good since it worked right in fowrard gears before the valve body swap. Could the shorter spring used in the kit cause an issue like this? I have NOT changed the orings on the servo since it worked fine before but will try that next. The trans tech i found here was the best so im hopping some one here will have some good help for this issue. I am no transmission guy but have learned ALOT in the past week. I bought this truck for my daughters first vehicle only because i know the service history on it and it was taken care of.
