A4LD Questions

[DrCheeto]

2 Questions about 2 different cars...

1. 1993 Mustang 2.3 Convertible, A4LD (yay)... Trans decided as of 3 days ago , to only engage reverse. Drive acts same as neutral now.. Was not slipping, or anything abnormal before this happened, just started it one day, no drive... Anything I should check for? or should i just get another tranny....

also,

2. 1988 Mustang 2.3 A4LD ... Transmission leaks BAD when warmed up, I cant pinpoint the leak, tranny fluid is everywhere... Is not the cooler lines... Is this the notorious Front Seal Rupture? what would you guys suggest...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!!
(sorry for posting this in 2.3 Mustang Talk, I dont know how that happened...)

My only advice is a little something I like to call t-5 swap.

As far as your problem with your 93, perhaps it is just the linkages that aern't gripping properly when you shift. If you take it to your local auto tranny shop they'll be able to diagnose the problem in a jiffy.
