A4LD APPLICATION

IDENTIFICATION

The A4LD 4-speed automatic transmission can be identified by the Safety Standard Certification label. Label is located on driver's door lock pillar. Transmission code on label is under TRANS designation. The code for automatic 4-speed transmission is "T".

Note. Ford Motor Co. uses the code "T" in certification label for both AOD and A4LD transmissions.

Automatic transmissions are also equipped with service identification tags. (Scheme 1) Tag is attached to lower left side extension housing bolt. Top line of tag shows transmission model number and line shift code. Bottom line on tag shows build date code.

Scheme 1

DESCRIPTION

The A4LD is a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission with lock-up type torque converter. Transmission consists of torque converter, planetary gear train, 3 multiple disc clutch packs, 3 bands, 2 one-way clutches and a hydraulic control system.

The on-board EEC-IV system controls operation of a converter clutch solenoid to engage or disengage a piston/plate clutch located in the torque converter. Piston/plate clutch locks and unlocks torque converter to provide "solid drive" function when appropriate.

The EEC-IV system also controls operation of a shift solenoid for 3rd-4th gear upshift and downshifts with 4th gear acting as overdrive. Overdrive (4th gear) is engaged or disengaged as necessary to provide for fuel economy, and torque or acceleration conditions.

Manual selection of gears is also provided. Park, Neutral and Reverse function is the same as all other Ford automatic transmissions. If 1st gear is manually selected at speeds above 30 MPH (48 km/h), transmission will downshift to 2nd gear, followed by downshift to 1st gear when speed decreases to 30 MPH (48 km/h). If 2nd gear is manually selected, transmission will remain in 2nd gear regardless of vehicle speed. This is useful for start-up on slippery surfaces or for engine braking on downgrades.

TESTING

After completing PRELIMINARY CHECKS , use initial road test to verify malfunction of transmission. Ensure engine is operating properly.

Road Test

This test will determine if electronics, governor and shift control valves are functioning properly. Converter lock-up is difficult to detect. A vacuum gauge and tachometer should be used to determine lock-up speeds.

1. Check light throttle upshift with transmission in Overdrive (with approximately 10 in. Hg). Transmission should start in 1st gear and shift automatically into and through each gear, then lock converter at predetermined speeds. See appropriate SHIFT SPEEDS table.
2. Converter clutch lock-up only occurs after Overdrive gear is obtained. With transmission in "D", all upshifts are automatic (except for overdrive). With transmission selector in 2nd gear, transmission will only operate in 2nd gear.
3. When travelling over 45 MPH with transmission in 3rd gear, transmission should downshift into 2nd gear when selector lever is manually shifted from "D" to 1st gear. This will determine if governor pressure and shift control valves are functioning properly.
4. When traveling at approximately 45 MPH in Overdrive or "D" and transmission is manually shifted into 1st gear, transmission should shift into 2nd gear. When speed drops below 30 MPH, transmission will downshift into 1st gear.
5. During coastdown from approximately 45 MPH with transmission in Overdrive and throttle closed, as vehicle speed drops, downshift sequence is

1. Converter Electronically Unlocks (When Accelerator Pedal Is Released)
2. Downshift From Overdrive-To-3rd
3. Downshift From 3rd-To-2nd
4. Downshift From 2nd-To-1st

In-Shop Test

The shift speed test can be performed in-shop to check shift valve operation, governor circuits, shift delay pressures, throttle boost and downshift valve action.

1. Raise and support vehicle so that rear wheels are clear of floor. Disconnect and plug line to vacuum diaphragm. Connect an adjustable vacuum source to vacuum diaphragm unit.
2. Start vehicle. Apply 18 in. Hg vacuum to vacuum diaphragm unit. Shift transmission into Overdrive position. At minimum throttle position, allow transmission to shift through gears and into converter lock-up.
3. Note shift speeds and compare against appropriate SHIFT SPEEDS table. If shift speeds are not within specifications, proceed to «GOVERNOR PRESSURE TEST»(/ford/cab-chassis-ranger/1985-1986/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-a4ld__governor-pressure-test) to isolate problem.
4. If shift speeds are within specifications, the 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and converter clutch shift valves and governor are okay. Shift to Neutral position. Run engine at 1000 RPM for 15 seconds to cool transmission. Proceed to next step.
5. Apply 1-2 in. Hg vacuum to vacuum diaphragm unit. Shift transmission into Overdrive position. Allow transmission to shift from 1-2.
6. If shift speed is within specification, throttle boost and shift delay systems are functioning properly. Shift to Neutral position. Run engine at 1000 RPM for 15 seconds to cool transmission. Proceed to next step.
7. Apply 1-2 in. Hg vacuum to vacuum diaphragm unit. Shift transmission into Overdrive position. Move the kickdown linkage through detent into wide open throttle position. Allow transmission to shift from 1-2. Shift speed should be higher than normal specification.

Shift Speed Vacuum Gauge Readings (Except Mustang)

All minimum throttle shift speeds should occur with 10-15 in. Hg reading. Part throttle 1-2 and 2-3 shift speeds should occur with 1.5-2.0 in. Hg reading. All wide open throttle shift speeds and part throttle 3-2 shift speeds should occur with 1 in. Hg reading. Overdrive 3-4 and 4-3 shifts at minimum throttle or part throttle are electronically controlled.

CONVERTER CLUTCH TEST

Note. Ensure engine coolant temperature is above 128°F (53°C) and below 240°F (116°C). Due to the difficulty of feeling converter clutch shift, a tachometer and/or vacuum gauge must be connected to engine.

1. To check converter for engagement and disengagement, drive vehicle at approximately 50 MPH. While maintaining this speed, lightly tap brake pedal. Engine RPM and vacuum should increase when clutch disengages, with light brake pedal application.
2. Engine RPM will decrease when pedal is released and clutch engages. If converter clutch does not engage or is engaged continuously, see «AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS - FORD A4LD»(ref-55787) article.

VACUUM DIAPHRAGM UNIT TEST

1. Remove hose from vacuum diaphragm. If transmission fluid is present on vacuum side of diaphragm unit, replace unit. Fluid indicates diaphragm in unit is defective. NOTE: If replacing vacuum diaphragm unit, ensure correct replacement is used. Diaphragm units may appear identical, but cannot be interchanged.
2. Attach a vacuum pump to diaphragm unit. Apply 18 in. Hg of vacuum. If gauge reading holds steady, diaphragm unit is good. If gauge reading drops, diaphragm unit is defective and must be replaced.
3. Remove diaphragm unit from transmission. Apply 18 in. Hg of vacuum. Hold finger over end of unit control rod. When hose is removed, diaphragm unit should push control rod out. Replace as necessary.

ENGINE VACUUM SUPPLY TEST

1. Disconnect vacuum line at diaphragm unit. Connect vacuum line to gauge. At idle, engine vacuum must hold steady at an acceptable level for the altitude at which the vehicle is tested.
2. If vacuum reading is low, check for vacuum leaks in vacuum hoses and engine vacuum related components (power brake booster, etc.).
3. If vacuum reading is okay, press the accelerator pedal quickly, then release. Vacuum reading should drop rapidly then recover immediately when pedal is released.
4. If vacuum reading does not change or recover quickly, check supply line for restriction or incorrect connection.

Using Engine Vacuum

1. If vacuum diaphragm unit is working properly and linkage is adjusted correctly, all shifts should occur within specified road speed limits. See appropriate SHIFT SPEEDS table. If not within specifications or slipping occurs, check engine vacuum supply and vacuum operated units for possible defect.
2. Connect tachometer to engine. Connect vacuum gauge to manifold vacuum line, using "T" fitting at diaphragm unit. Attach pressure gauge to control pressure take-off located on left side of transmission case. (Scheme 17)
3. Apply parking brake firmly. Start engine and ensure idle RPM is correct. If engine idle cannot be brought within limits, check throttle and downshift linkages for binding. Check for vacuum leaks in hoses, tubes and all vacuum components such as power brake booster.
4. With engine at idle, read and record control pressures in all selector positions. Read and record control pressures with vacuum gauge reading at 10 in. Hg and at one in. Hg (wide open throttle). See appropriate «CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS»(/ford/cab-chassis-ranger/1985-1986/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-a4ld) and «CONTROL PRESSURE TEST RESULTS»(/ford/cab-chassis-ranger/1985-1986/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-a4ld__control-pressure-test-results).

Scheme 17

Note. Governor can be checked at same time and in the same manner as control pressure test.

Using Vacuum Pump

1. Disconnect vacuum line from diaphragm unit and attach vacuum pump. (Scheme 17) Apply parking and service brakes. Start engine and apply 15 in. Hg of vacuum to diaphragm unit. Read and record control pressures in all selector positions.
2. Bring engine RPM to 1000. Reduce vacuum to 10 in. Hg. Read and record control pressures in "OD", "D", "2" and "1" selector positions.
3. Reduce vacuum to one in. Hg. Read and record control pressures in "OD", "D", "2", "1" and "R" selector positions. See appropriate CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS table and «CONTROL PRESSURE TEST RESULTS»(/ford/cab-chassis-ranger/1985-1986/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-a4ld__control-pressure-test-results).

CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS (PSI @ SEA LEVEL)

CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS (PSI @ 5000 FT.)

CONTROL PRESSURE TEST RESULTS

Compare recorded control pressures to control pressures listed in table. See appropriate CONTROL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS table. If control pressures are outside of specified ranges, use flow chart to determine cause of trouble. (Scheme 18)

Scheme 18

GOVERNOR PRESSURE TEST

1. Raise vehicle until drive wheels clear ground. Disconnect and plug vacuum line to vacuum diaphragm unit. Connect a vacuum pump to vacuum diaphragm unit. CAUTION: DO NOT exceed 60 MPH speedometer reading. After each test, move selector lever to Neutral position and run engine at 1000 RPM for 15 seconds to cool transmission.
2. Place transmission in "D" position. Apply 10 in. Hg to vacuum diaphragm with no load on engine. Increase speed slowly and watch speedometer. Note speed at which control pressure cut-back occurs.
3. Pressure cut-back should occur between 5-15 MPH. Decrease vacuum to 0-2 in. Hg and repeat test. Control pressure cut-back should occur at 7-20 MPH. Governor is okay if cut-back occurs as specified.
4. If cut-back does not occur as specified, check shift speeds to verify problem is in governor and not due to stuck cut-back valve. See «SHIFT SPEED TEST»(/ford/cab-chassis-ranger/1985-1986/remont/automatic-trans/#overhaul-a4ld) . Repair or replace governor as necessary.

Testing Precautions

1. Engine coolant and transmission fluid must be at proper levels and operating temperatures. Linkages must be set properly. Hold accelerator down just long enough to get a stable tachometer reading. DO NOT floor accelerator for more than 5 seconds.
2. DO NOT exceed maximum specified RPM for vehicle. Before shifting into each selector position, run engine in Neutral at 1000 RPM for 15 to 20 seconds to cool transmission. If engine speed exceeds specification, release accelerator immediately, as this is an indication of clutch or band slippage.

Testing Procedure

Connect tachometer to engine. Apply parking and service brakes firmly. Place selector lever in each gear. Press accelerator completely to floor and record tachometer reading in each gear. DO NOT exceed 5 second limit. Engine speed should be within specifications. See STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS .

AIR PRESSURE TESTS

A "No Drive" condition can exist, even with correct transmission fluid pressure, due to inoperative clutches or bands. Inoperative units can be located through a series of checks by substituting air pressure for fluid pressure to determine location of malfunction.

To check unit, drain transmission fluid. Remove oil pan, gasket and control valve body. See VALVE BODY removal procedure under ON-VEHICLE SERVICE. Using shop air, apply air to indicated points. (Scheme 19) Check unit operation as follows.

Scheme 19

Forward Clutch

Apply air pressure into forward clutch passage. A dull thud can be heard when clutch piston is applied. If no thud is heard, movement of piston can be felt by placing fingertips on input shell.

Governor

Apply air pressure into the forward clutch control pressure-to-governor passage. Listen for sharp clicking or whistling noise indicating governor valve movement.

Overdrive Servo

1. Apply air pressure to overdrive servo apply passage. Operation of servo is indicated by a tightening of overdrive band around overdrive drum.
2. While continuing to apply air pressure to servo apply passage, apply air pressure to overdrive servo release passage. The overdrive servo should release overdrive band.

Overdrive Clutch

Apply air pressure to overdrive clutch feed passage. A dull thud indicates the overdrive clutch piston has moved to the applied position.

Note. If air pressure applied to either clutch passage fails to operate clutch or operates both clutches at once, check fluid passages in case and oil pump. Use air pressure to detect obstructions.

Reverse-High Clutch

Apply air pressure into reverse-high clutch passage. A dull thud can be heard when clutch piston is applied. If no thud is heard, movement of piston can be felt by placing fingertips on clutch drum.

Intermediate Servo

1. Hold air nozzle in intermediate servo apply passage. Operation of servo is indicated by tightening of intermediate band around drum.
2. While continuing to apply air pressure at servo apply passage, apply air pressure to intermediate servo release passage. Intermediate servo should release band against pressure in apply passage.

Low-Reverse Servo

Apply air pressure to low-reverse servo apply passage. Low-reverse band should tighten around drum if servo is operating properly.

TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER FLOW CHECK

Note. Before performing TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER FLOW CHECK, ensure shift cables and linkages are properly adjusted. Ensure fluid level is correct and control pressures are within specifications. See CONTROL PRESSURE TEST .

1. Remove transmission dipstick from filler tube. Install a funnel into filler tube. Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect transmission cooler return line (upper line) from transmission case fitting.
2. Connect one end of a hose to transmission cooler return line. Install other end of hose into filler tube funnel. With transmission in Neutral position, set idle speed to 1000 RPM.
3. Note fluid flow at funnel. Wait until flow is constant. This indicates air bleeding has been completed. Fluid flow should be free and heavy. If flow is intermittent or light, check flow from transmission fluid output line to determine source of restriction.
4. If transmission output line flow is good, restriction is in cooler. Repair as necessary. If output line flow is poor, check for main oil circuit leakage, oil pump defect or a stuck converter charge relief valve.

TORQUE CONVERTER FLUSHING

Whenever transmission has been disassembled to replace worn or damaged parts or because valve body sticks due to foreign material, converter must be cleaned using a mechanically agitated cleaner, such as Rotunda (014-00028). Under no conditions should converter be cleaned by hand agitation using solvent.

After removing torque converter from cleaning equipment, thoroughly drain remaining solvent from converter hub. Add 2 Qts. (1.9L) of clean transmission fluid to converter and agitate by hand. Thoroughly drain converter hub.

Note. Torque converter is a sealed unit and cannot be disassembled for service. Replace if found to be defective. Perform the following tests to ensure converter is defective before replacing unit.

LEAK TEST

If torque converter welds indicate leakage, attach Torque Converter Leak Detector (Rotunda 021-00054) to converter and follow detector kit instructions.

TURBINE & STATOR END PLAY CHECK

1. Insert Torque Converter End Play Tester (T80L-7902-A) into converter pump drive hub until it bottoms. Expand sleeve in turbine spline by tightening threaded inner post of tester until it is securely locked into spline. (Scheme 20)
2. Attach dial indicator to tester with dial indicator tip on converter housing. Zero dial face. Lift tester upward as far as it will go and note dial indicator reading.
3. Reading is total end play of turbine and stator. If end play exceeds.023" (.58 mm) on new or rebuilt converter, or.050" (1.27 mm) on used converter, replace torque converter assembly.

Scheme 20

CONVERTER ONE-WAY CLUTCH CHECK

1. Insert one-way Clutch Holder (D84L-7902-A) into one of the grooves in the stator thrust washer. Insert Torque Adapter (T77L-7902-B) into converter impeller hub so as to engage one-way clutch inner race.
2. Attach a torque wrench to torque adapter. With clutch holder held stationary, turn torque wrench counterclockwise. (Scheme 21) Converter one-way clutch should lock-up and hold at 10 Ft. Lbs. (14 N.m). One-way clutch should rotate freely in a clockwise direction.
3. Repeat lock-up test in at least 5 different locations around torque converter. If clutch fails to lock-up and hold, replace torque converter.

Scheme 21

Stator-To-Impeller Interference Check

1. Position front pump assembly on bench with spline end of stator shaft pointing upward. Mount converter on pump so splines of one-way clutch inner race engage splines of stator support and impeller hub engages pump drive gear.
2. While holding pump stationary, rotate converter in both directions (clockwise and counterclockwise). Converter should rotate freely without interference. If an interference or scraping condition exists, replace torque converter unit.
