Well it finally went south! Trany that is! Guess it didn't want to do another snowy winter!! 135 thousand and it's gone. Any advice? Shop says about $1900. for labor and rebuilt trany. I'm not spending that much on it. Shame though has less than 30,000 on new top end on the big engine (Wife ran it hot) also just had new upper bushings put in.

 

if you have inside space and mech. ability? rebuild yourself and make a bullet proof A4LD FrankenMonster tranny for 1/3 the price...
i can pm you the links of detailed step by step with photos.

please describe the failure mode...may be something easy and simple to repair

Went out several weeks ago and went to shift nothing happened shift felt loose. I can't work on these things to disabled so called local shop. They said shift rod attached to cable broke??? They replaced it. Went out Friday last week we had four inches of new snow with ice under it. When I shifted in drive nothing! Put in reverse and it move back a little (had to go forward against snow bank) was shifting back and forward slowly not jaming it. Then reverse went. I thought the new part broke. They towed it in again! Guy says everthing is hooked up right and is shifting but NoGo. Thanks for any suggestions but I'm really at the mercy of having someone else do any work on it.
