1992 A4LD - Engine stall problem
A4LD transmission on 1992 4.0l Ranger 2wd xtnd/super cab, regular bed, 190K miles.
Engine stalled when putting the vehicle from either park or neutral. It felt as though the transmission was locked and no slippage. It did this in both forward and reverse gears, P to (O through 1), N to (O through 1), P to R, N to R. I finally got it to go after doing a little revving and performing(God forbid) - "neutral drop." It has performed fine since except for a deep groan/creek, going into O from Park that same day.
For the past three days, it has been just fine, fluid level is good and color is okay - not perfectly pretty and red but pretty good(dropping pan and changing fluid, filter, gasket today.) New rear U-joint, front joint is tight and fine. Engine is strong and actually compression is pretty level across.
Valve body? Bands? Sprag? Help???? LOL
***Update***
Dropped pan - normal gray sludge on magnet, no major filings, just the normal wear - nothing in the pan - fluid doesn't smell burnt or old. (6-24-09)
**Filter gray with sludge but still no shavings and the likes... also really looked through the fluid material to see if I can find any copper/brass or metal shavings - none. (06-24-09):icon_pepsi:
Aloha from the islands. Here is my A4LD problem....Why is it we have a ton of people with posts in this forum about A4LD problems, but none are posted here?
I'd like to get a list of A4LD problems whether they're fixed or not.
