I would like to know if anybody had any problems with a 4cyl AOD trans. I'd like to swap one into my pinto (I need the extra gear). But before I go through...
Well, the AOD never came behind a 4 cylinder. The overdrive auto that came behind the 2.3 was the A4LD and they aren't very good at all. They don't even hold...
... for a brake hose they ask if it was made before 7/16/76 or after. Apparently there are two hoses. Is the later hose a better one and if so what would it...
... trans. I'd like to swap one into my pinto (I need the extra gear). But before I go through all the trouble of swapping I want to know how reliable this...
WOW, we actually agree for once, or "again" may it be added. :- ) My local parts store, that counter guy talked with great enthusiasim about Cardone parts....
... Ok, then unless you are getting brake fluid inside the car by the dri vers feet (just look under the dash and it will be obvious), the master cylinder is...
I must have Irish in me. Because boy did I get lucky. I called a friend yesterday at a local auto salvage that only does late model cars, to check the...
I hope its just the brake hose. Theres no brake fluid leaking inside, tho the last new cardone master cylinder i had blew all the fluid out the seal on top...
i've heard the a4ld referred to as "the grenade". doesn't really give me much faith in the transmission. [Non-text portions of this message have been...
I know when I ran a wrecking yard for a while, I sold a lot of Mustang 2.3 A4LD trannies. About the only thing that was in higher demand and even harder (ie-...
Depending on the motor in the Aerostar, it very well could have had an A4LD. But basically, the knowledge to take away from all of this is don't go through the...
... Aerostar and FWD Chrysler 4 speed autos were/are absolute pure garbage. The Aerofart was an A4LD. Problem with them is the same as the Rangers. ...
Interestingly enough, until they had a quarter milliion miles on them, my dad's Aerostars had no problems with the transmissions. course, by nature, we're anal...

Thanks for pointing that out. HEAT is very damaging to the trans. Change your 1.50 ATF every Spring, or better yet, up grade to a Superior ATF and don't even...
Will they stand behind the cost to rebuild the tranny? Or will they stand behind the car to help push it off the road, should that superior ATF actually not...
Almost the same thing happened to me on a 1971 to 1978 Ford Pinto Dash Pad. Perfect Shape.. from a 1976 Wagon In Portland Oregon wrecking yard... Wanted $20.00...
Thanks for asking that Dave. Sarcastic comments like that one are faced often....by the un-informed. As this can help everyone; lubricant/oil analysis is what...
... In all fairness, not once in thirty three years has Amsoil found their fluids to be at fault. Not too hard to do when you do your own testing. ... If a...
I for one am tired of hearing the bickering over Lefty's decision to use Amsoil. Plese stop starting a fight anytime he mentions a product he happens to...
Its not his decision to use Amswayoil, its his decision to push their propoganda on the list at the mere mention of anything slippery. ... Just to clarify...
Dave, It takes two to tango. If you don't want to hear him praising Asoil, don't open his emails. Just don't bore us with attacks on him every time he does. ...
Understood. sorry to offend anyone. Bug and I will just snap pencils in our hand every time we see lefty post or something :-D ... [Non-text portions of this...
