[fordtuff84]

hey dude in sayreville , give me a call 732 609 2421 Jimmy thanks ma appreciate it alot

 

[fordtuff84]

ok still need help guys so feel free to help lol hit me up , thank you to the people dat try to help already

 

[tgreene92]

ill give you a call when i get my garage all finished up and maybe you can come down and we can fix some stuff. what are some issues your having any particular noises, or things that seem out of whack.

 

[fordtuff84]

i got to let go the gas for the truck to shift , and my auto4 binds my steering so it feels like the steering is gonna break if i turning the wheel left or right , an my car shacks like crazy whe i hit 60 an up

 

[tgreene92]

yep my trans does the same exact thing, usually either a valve body, or intermediate band issue. not much i can do about that, but at least if you go into the tranny shop you can tell them what you believe to be wrong so they cant rip you off. as far as the 4x4, binding is normal and you'll notice it big time if your trying to turn with it on while on dry pavement. the shaking could be a few things, unbalanced tires, bad shocks, sway bar links/bushings, alignment etc...that kind of issue you just have to fix what seems to be the worst first and then go by a process of elimination until the problem is solved.

 

[mikebolk]

I'm new to this ford auto trans....but on some 2wd stuff with the aod I've had luck with the not shifting being the kick down cable.... do these transmisions have a kick down cable? Ususaly that's an easy fix...

 

[fordtuff84]

i guess i dunno, but hopefully someone hits me up around here that can help me out with the repairs man smh i wonder how much **** can keep going geez lol

 

[tgreene92]

what do you mean by kick down cable? the 5r55e which is behind most of the 2nd gens is computer controlled so all you do is pull the parking paw which pulls the shift linkage into gear, then the computer controls the rest of the gear shifting.

 

[mikebolk]

That's exactly ehat I wanted to know thanks.... like isead I'm used to dealing with the aod.... this my first ex before this its been rangers mustangs and tbirds for me...
