Drain Plug for A4Ld Transmission

I would like an easier way to change the transmission fluid in our Bronco II. Has anyone installed a drain plug kit in an A4LD or should I buy a pan with a plug in it?

Thanks,

Smittyd

Thanks -- I was leaning toward the pan with the plug.

Thanks again for the reply,

does sound like an odd thing, but I have found that many transmissions lack this, including some C-6's.

This is an unfortunate thing on some fords. I've popped-drilled a hole and let it drain then brazed a pipe fitting on for future times.

Since you have the pan already I would try the kit. If you jack up the install you are out nothing to very little since you are already willing to obtain a whole new pan.

If the kit appears to be really cheap or poor in quality, look for a better kit but NAPA usually has good stuff. Just do a little quality assurance on your work and if it doesn't seem up to par, replace it.

I just said the same thing two different ways. Wtfe.
