TRANSMISSION - A4LD - SNAP RING AND OUTPUT SHAFT - SERVICE PART PACKAGING AND APPLICATION
Article No. 88-20-7
FORD: 1989 MUSTANG, THUNDERBIRD

LIGHT TRUCK: 1989 AEROSTAR, BRONCO II, RANGER
ISSUE: 1989 Aerostar extended vans require the use of a (2.0 mm) snap ring and matching output shaft. During the 1989 model year some A4LD transmissions, used in other car and light truck applications, will be built with either the (1.2 mm) snap ring and matching output shaft or the (2.0 mm) snap ring and matching output shaft. The snap rings and output shafts are not interchangeable because of the difference in size.
ACTION: If service is required on the snap ring or output shaft, it will be necessary to determine which size snap ring is needed. The (1.2 mm) and (2.0 mm) snap rings will be packaged together for service.

NOTE: THE 2.0 mm SNAP RING AND MATCHING OUTPUT SHAFT CAN BE USED TO SERVICE PRIOR MODEL YEAR A4LD TRANSMISSIONS.
