TRANSMISSION - A4LD-SERVO COVER HEAT SHIELD REQUIRED TO AVOID DAMAGING OVERDRIVE AND INTERMEDIATE SERVOS - VEHICLES WITH 4.0L ENGINE

LIGHT TRUCK: 1990-94 AEROSTAR, RANGER 1991-94 EXPLORER

ISSUE:
Damage to overdrive and intermediate servos may occur if the servo heat shield is not reinstalled after servicing A4LD transmissions with 4.0L engines.

ACTION:
When servicing A4LD transmissions with 4.0L engines that require servo cover heat shield removal, it is necessary that this heat shield be reinstalled to deflect heat generated by the catalytic converter away from the transmission. Failure to do so may result in premature failure of the overdrive, intermediate servos and transmission.
