The 4.0L was not offered in 89. It was introduced in 90/91. Any 89 RBV V6 would be a 2.9L engine. While that transmission might physically bolt to your 4.0, I highly doubt it would live long there. The 4.0 puts out more torque, so will kill a 2.9 tranny even faster than the 2.9. I'd try to find an actual 4.0 trans.

Lots of years are split. It maybe possible he has a 4.0 It could also have been a replacement engine/transmission.
In any case if it IS a 4.0 double check to be sure. Then the A4ld off of it should work with a 93 4.0
But if its a 2.9 the transmission off of it won't hold up in a 93's 4.0 It will work. but not for long.

if you did decide to use it any way you need to install the best transmission cooler you can find.
