permanant fix for the a4ld?

[mhar]

one of my buddies just said he saw a company that makes a permanent fix for the dreaded a4ld, he's looking for the link for me . has anyone else ever heard of such a thing, seems a little too good to be true to me. apparently on some models u can even do the fix with the trans still in? hmmmm? ill post the link if he finds it for me...

Has to be some sort of fluid cooler. Aside from filters/valve body, pan gasket/tail shaft seal and fluid changes, there are no auto transmission services that can be performed in vehicle.

Maybe he was talking about the shift kit from Transgo?

THIS IS THE FIX

Makes a decent bit of sense, price isn't too bad, all though I bet shipping blows. For those that actually WANT the A4LD, I guess that it would be worth a shot, considering how much $$ it costs to get one rebuilt, but, personnally, I will stick with the trannies that say things like New Process, ZF, and Spicer.

Hello

Check this site out http://www.transmissioncenter.org/a4ld.htm they build a tranny call frankestien. But is it worth the price? Myself I have a 94 A4ld out of a 4.0l Areostar with a 85 VB with a shift kit and so far so good.

I've built my own Frankentranny. Not that hard to do. Worked great. I now have a real 5R55E instead.

M5OD is the permanent fix for the A4LD

Never had the Frankentranny behind the blown 4.0 but I have no doubt that it would do just fine.
