Also, what's the difference between the e4OD and the 4r100 other than the fact that they're different transmissions? Like key differences. Why did they switch to the 4r100? Which is stronger/better?

They actually are very similar. The 4R has updated parts. Most of the parts in a 4R are direct replacements to those in a E4OD

Oh that's pretty cool. So what did they change between the two? Or did they just make a refreshed and new trans to use

Nice shirt! Did the new compressor come with oil already in it? And do you have access to a set of a/c gauges, nitrogen bottle and an a/c vacuum pump?

[MENTION=92839]MyFX4Project[/MENTION] this is the location of the orifice tube in your system. Pay attention to the direction it faces when you pull it out. Like a thermostat, it won't work if it's installed backwards.

Get it flushed with nitrogen first. I wouldn't want any trash in the lines contaminating the new components. Then change out the parts, have it vacuumed down and finally filled. Make sure you have the appropriate type & amount of oil for the compressor. If it doesnt already have oil in it youll have to bench bleed it. And go ahead & change the o - rings at every connection while you have it apart. Follow all the steps and your a/c will be good for the next 20 years.
