Same is true with 4r and 5r55e
The A4LD can be rebuilt using 5r55e late model (sohc engine) guts......
1986-1994 is A4LD behind the Cologne 60 degree pushrods 2.9 and 4.0
Brett is now building these A4LD case and operations with 5r55e guts and upgrades
Now that is a A4LD I would run
Otherwise a crapshoot, the rebuild is often when the nightmare begins
Back when my BII was a 4.0 I finally had a transwerx built A4LD that was great, before that I had 4 of them (warranties)....they just do not hold up unless from the factory or rebuilt by someone who knows them and how to build them properly
