1988 Ford Bronco II Transmission Problem
I have a 1988 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer Edition. Has original 2.9L Engine and a rebuilt A4LD transmission.
Transmission stop shifting into 4th recently so I had it checked out and it needs to be rebuilt or replaced. It was rebuilt several years ago so I would like to get a remanufactured one as the early A4LD transmissions are known for electrical problems.
Called all my local shops and nobody can find a compatible part or quotes me something outrageous like $4,000 for a rebuild (I am a woman, but I know just enough about cars to know when I'm getting the run around from mechanics.)
I am wondering if anybody has had a similar issue and had success with a remanufactured trans. Can anybody suggest a good remanufactured part, or offer me a new plan.
I am not opposed to a manual swap, but most of my family members don't know how to drive manual and would prefer to keep it automatic.
Thanks in advance for your help!
