maybe i'm just paranoid...

hey gots got the A4LD in 93 4.0L ranger. Whenever i'm stopped and its in drive i can hear the tranny rattling. Wasn't sure if its normal or not cause this is the first automatic i've ever dealt with. and i'm already figuring i'm gonna be rebuilding at some point, or putting a high performance one from Here in:

Just figured i could ask about the noise and find out if its an immediate concern or if the filter and oil change i plan on doing will be sufficient.

I would do a 5 speed swap, but i've kinda grown fond of driving an auto after having to drive a freakin kenworth around all day at work.

OH and i know that if i rebuild it i CANNOT do just a "soft parts" rebuild as that is a half ass rebuild that will go to crap on me in a year.
