CD4E, LA4A-EL

Symptoms:

• Soft Reverse
• Harsh Reverse
• Delayed Reverse

Cause:
Accumulator bore wear and/or piston sticking.

Correction:
Prevent leakage of worn valve body castings with Sonnax O-ringed accumulator piston and spring kit.

Ford CD4E and Mazda LA4A-EL transmissions may exhibit such problems as harsh engagements, and/or soft or harsh shifting, particularly from 1st to 2nd Gear. These complaints can be due to worn or out-of-round accumulator bores and/or pistons sticking in the bore.

• Anodized aluminum pistons have two O-rings that prevent blow-by leakage
• Pistons have been dimensionally modified to stop in different axial locations to prevent them from hanging up or sticking on the previously worn bore edges
• Modified replacement springs are included to fit the smaller piston pocket
• Kits available for 2-4, Low/Reverse and Forward locations
