I recently bought a '90 LX Mustang convertible 2.3L and the transmission went out soon afterwards.
The automatic transmission That was taken out of it I assume was the A4LD. I found another transmission for it at a Auto Recycling place, for $350.00 with a 1 year warranty. This replacement was supposedly also out of a '90 mustang.
I had a friend take out the old one for me, and put in this other one.
I have a couple of issues I need advice on:
The car was made in October of 1990 and had a three wire transmission in it.
The replacement only had two wires. Is it possible to still get the overdrive to work?
The other issue I am having is that the replacement transmission, from what my friend told me fits different. It was pretty noisy when I drove it home, so I just parked it. Is it possible that the two wire transmission is longer than the three wire version?
I need the car to get back and forth to work, but at this point is is pretty much un-driveable. I can live without the overdrive, as it seems to shift fine 1st through 3rd gear. It's the noises I am concerned with at this point in time.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
