"A4LD X's when did your tranny go?

[jon42]

Hmm...ive torn down the trans and found the no.2 bearing between the planet and sprag completely annihilated.found rollers in the sprag clutch possibly inhibiting its grabbing capability.I replaced the piston seals in my rebuild but didnt inspect them as i stopped analizing when i discovered the disintergrated bearing.Think i will explore further.Have new planet comming from texas and centershaft from alabama.Found its cheaper to shop for these parts nationwide .The planet was $93 at one outfit and $50 at another.Would think that a wrecking yard would sell a guy a scrap a4ld to scrounge parts from but ,all i found was 1 core for $250.Since a4ld,s bugger the planets often this didnt seem like a good bet.A trans place called makco and one called S&K transparts were the most reasonably priced. Still wonder tho what caused the bearing failure.Didnt change the thrust washers so i dont believe it was ecssesive thrust....hmmm.

Well, since I posted that my tranny has given me a few problems, it still runs well but when it gets overheated it spits tranny fluid out the vent pipe. Someone where I work is going to look at it and see what's wrong but it looks like time for a replacement
