A4LDe gearbox

[AndyG]

'Ello, Andy ,..

Are the servo mods the same for the earlier A4LD ?
( Same part numbers etc ? ).

As far as I know, the earlier boxes (A4ld) were fine

But if it feels very "soft" going into overdrive/4th, or indeed beginning to slip and the band is adjusted correctly, then I can't really see any harm

Hi andy
the pics are very handy but which one is the overdrive the left or right as i'll crawl under and have a look tomorrow! I don't suppose you fancy coming down and helping me!!! do you have to do this mod with sump plate off or can you simply do it from outside the box? sounds a bit complex! my transit pulls fine in the gears at the mo and is a fantastic gearbox and i've driven thousands of automatics as i used to buy and sell sports cars! all auto's! but i know nothing about actually repairing them and once I had a capri auto and it would go for about half a mile then lose drive then after a few days would go again after i replaced the radiator it went fine before so these auto boxes scare me a bit as I don't weant to bugger up my tranny as it was quite expensive! how do i know if the bands are all adjusted correctly?
How much oil exactly do i need to put in once drained out? and how do i blow the pipes out?
thanks for the help
Richie

The mod is relatively easy and doesn't involve removing the sump

Overdrive servo is toward the engine, the other is your second gear (also refereed to as the intermediate servo ) Why don't they call them what they are (was probably ok while the box was the 3 speed C3 I guess)

Hi Andyg

I am trying to solve the same problem with missing shift from 3 to 4 gear.
It worked before when I bought the car with mileage 56000 km

Car is Ford Turneo Transit LX 2.5 TD aut. Done 65.000 km
Comes from swedish defence with this low mileage.

I am going change transmission oil and filter, including a cleaning/flushing of the oil at a recommended workshop in Denmark.

Can I apply the parts with the Finis code you indicated insted of the version on the pictures ?

They are available at my ford sparepart dealer.

Does it make sence to clean the small filters at the solonoide ?

Kind regards
Henrik
