Hi guys,
Any way to tell the final drive ratio from auto transaxle case markings?
Just picked up a '90 A670 to replace mine for cheap and had the nasty thought it might have been on a 15" wheel van and had a different final drive.
It's under a 90 day warranty from the wreckers where I got it and they marked everything but the pan bolts, so I can't check anything unless I wanna lose the warranty.... yeah it was cheap but money is money.
I guess when I pull the speed sensor out it, if the gear is a different color I'll know but I think they used the blue one over 2 or 3 ratios, 'coz it also depends on stock tire diameter.
BTW if anyone knows if I can bodge a non-cable speed sensor into a cable speed sensor, I'd like to know the trick, 'coz I've got two cable ones that were throwing codes (Though it could have been tranny issues) and this tranny came with a fresh looking non-cable one in it, so if I could just pry something out and swap it over, that would be great.
Secondly...
The torque convertor that was on it came off a little dirty, it's got sawdust and crap around and possibly in it, I think they hosed off the tranny from storing it in a barn and I'm concerned that crap and water got washed back into the convertor, so what's a good way of flushing and emptying them?
Thanks,

Edit: Yeah, first thing I checked was end play when I got it back here, looks good, about 30 thou, not like 120++, so hope that means it's got a good while on the current bushings/washers/bearings. Any way to guesstimate how much is on the kickdown/front band by how far the adjustment screw goes (Remember I can't just look if I want the 90 day return)
