ford gearbox 4R70W

[renchero]

this is not the original box its about 23 years newer than the Ranchero. i bought it a few years ago supposedly with an
taken it apart and not put all bits back in. it was rebuilt and i was pleased with the result, especially the extra gear.
recently the box had developed a 1-2 shift fault. i read the codes witch said "slip" not the fault i was looking and the fluid
had some muck in it.

You been busy so what you found so far???? Auto box if its a auto?

the valve, left of last picture is badly worn. this is what controls the 1-2 shift. i have an oversize one coming from Sonnax. this should cure that problem. the slip problem, i am still working on that.

I've seen videos of youtube of them dissasemblying and reassembling an auto box. I would never attemprt something like that myself. Soo many parts that look simular and need to be int he right order.

Good luck getting it back in and driving. That will feel like such an achievement.
