a4ld Question

[Fordexplorerguy1]

Okay im putting my a4ld back together after replacing the clutches and steels only. I have the 1994 version with torrington bearings and i am having trouble. My problem is with the bearings where i have them the center support sits too high it doesnt line up with the hole on the case. Can someone tell me where they are supposed to go or does someone have a picture? much much much help appreciated!!!

It's possible that the clutch packs under the center support are not properly seated into place.

 

[Fordexplorerguy1]

Can you better define how they wouldnt be properly seated?

 

[BrooklynBay]

If the clutch packs are not fully inserted into the planetary or one another, then it will be too high.

For some reason the rear sun shell, reverse clutch, forward drum and clutch assembly sit too tall for the center support Could i have 1 too many steels or something like that?

You might have to remove these parts to double check your work.

I have like ten times, I know if i remove 1 steel out of the forward clutch it seems to fit better, could that be it? or could i have a bearing somewhere that its not supposed to go?

Follow the rebuild manual, and don't add or subtract on the amount of plates.

Ok i checked i have the correct number of plates and on the reverse shell and the direct drum i am having too much gap causing the center support not to line up Theres a fat torrington bearing there, if i remove it It fits. If i put it back i have a gap. the bearing looks like this: http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hpho...35723471316_1189221128_32410392_6028637_n.jpg I am at a loss on what to do.

All of these parts were in there before the rebuild, so at one point it fit since nothing was added or changed. Is this correct?

 

[Fordexplorerguy1]

yes this is correct i have not added any bearings just what came out of the case
