A4LD history question
Does anyone know when the A4LD switched from 1 solenoid to 2? My Aerostar has a build date of 3/88. The junkyard interchange says the transmission swaps from '86 to '92...and doesn't specify an engine difference (and we all know THAT to be bullplop!).
My transmission is in good shape -when I changed the fluid/filter not too long ago, there was just a little...and I mean like half a teaspoon or so...of clutch material in the pan and the fluid was nice, pretty, red, and not burnt. I just want to know which transmissions I can use...just in case...

Per a discussion in the Ranger forums, it was noted the 87's had a single and the 88's were dual solenoids. Don't if this actually true or not. I had a link to the discussion but it did not copy. Try googling a4ld single double solenoids.

From what I can find, 86/87 had single solenoid. 89-92 had dual solenoid. 88 was a split year. Early models had single solenoids, and late models had dual. I'm trying to find out when that split occured.
