I bought a rebuilt A4LD automatic transmission from a person down the road from me. From what I have seen from switching out the bell housing and such, it was rebuilt and came with a new torque converter in a box. However, it did sit in a garage for at least 5 years.
My issue is that it had a new switch/sensor installed on it, that was not there before, and there is no connector for it. ( It is located just before the tail housing on the modulator side, and is a simple two prong connect). (Note: the guy thinks the trans came out of an 87 aerostar)!
The one I got it from says he had it rebuilt with an upgrade kit, and he don't know why it was installed, he did't ask for the switch. Anyway I installed the trans and it does shift ok? but it has a slight ticking sound under the the trans pan, up front by the bell housing, that doesn't change even in gear. almost sounds like a lifter tap. but isn't the engine. wonder if the switch controls a relay under the pan.
I only found 1 switch online, and it may be a Torque converter pressure lockup switch. can this be the issue, (And how do I hook it up)??? thanks.
