About this CD4E tranny.
I've done MUCHO research on this bugger.
Terry, you know how I've combed the internet for info
on this ATX to attempt to solve my overheating problem.
It IS a MAZDA designed transmission.
And it has a MAZDA DESIGNATION - "LA4A-EL".
It is used in the 626 ATX vehicles.
You can look at it here.
TransOnline Site This ATX is NOT hard to rebuild.
It can be done by anyone with the right tools.
It only requires patience and attention to detail.
This ATX also suffers from premature Valve Body Bore wear.
A TransGo Kit Jr. Shift kit will supply a NEW Valve Body gasket that
"Repairs" the problem with the Valve Body.
I've also read that because of the miscalculated fluid capacity of the CD4E,
many owners of this ATX are installing ATX Coolers to be on the "SAFE" side.
Another reason why mine was overheating, and why I should install a Cooler with a Temp driven Fan.
The Contour was designed with a lot of "MISCALCULATIONS" it seems...
