looking at a 87 4banger

[Unit 5302]

A4LD is evil, eeeeeevvvvviiiiillll. I have taken them apart on three seperate occations, overhauled twice. It's probably the bands. Make damn sure it's got the right filter on it. I bought one 88 LX 2.3L auto from a guy for $350, it was the deal of a lifetime. Anyway, the guy had the filter changed at Fina and the dumbasses there put the wrong filter on it. The filter was for a Ranger with 2.3L and Auto. It caused slippage and eventually it didn't move at all. The filter had a neck on the pickup side that contacted the bottom of the transmission pan, thus no fluid got sucked up. Even though my dad and I were able to bend the flange back and drive it away from his house, the transmission failed shortly after. The guy has no clue about the "sprague."
