does anyone have any experience or knowledge of rebuilding the A4LD?

 

has anyone ever rebuilt a tranny??? what are some tips, or things i should keep in mind while doing this??

 

Buy a B&M rebuild kit if they make it for that tranny, those include REEEDICULOUS instructions. Almost too much info.

IF they dont make a B&M kit, then go get a Haynes manual, look up which one youll need because they have about 600 tranny books

 

obtain 2 sticks of good quality dynamite. Attach (1) stick to each side of the A4LD (a long fuse would be adviseable) light fuse and take cover. There u go....more fun than that sucker blow'n up on ya on the highway
Seriously that trannie is VERY hard to rebuild properly. And even if you do manage to get it all back together there is a good chance it won't last long. Just a bad trannie overall.
Go with the dynamite.

 

^^^this is true and a very good way of getting rid of it, you need to pay allot of attention to snaprings, blocker rings, washers, syncro. it takes alot of time because you miss the smallest thing your trans can be f^cked up, and im not trying to scare you but just be careful cuz they are expensive

 

I have one thats in my 89 mustang that I rebuilt about a year ago. Im doing a 5.0l swap so if you need a trans ill sell you mine. If you need help Im hear for ya. Im in the fargo area also.

 

i didn't know that it would be that hard, i thought it would be like most trannies... but i found a shop that would do it for me, but i kinda wanted to do it myself....

 

you can do it yourself you just need the right instrustions and follow it exactly how ist shows you like i said dont forget anything, if you get done with it and have one piece missing you have to start all over unless your positive where that piece goes, if you start to rebuild it and get lost always ask if you not sure about something. where just a click away
