My 4.0L finally runs!!!
I just have one quick question regarding the transmission. I kept my factory A4LD out of my 88 B2 (I know, it's not recommended) but my question is regarding the overdrive. I have heard that I have to take a green wire from the donor vehicle and splice it into my brake wire so the tranny knows when to come out of overdrive. Has anyone heard anything about this or is this necessary?? My donor was a 1994 Explorer with a A4LD also.

I drove it home Sunday and there is no turning back. And wow, is it ever the wake up call. No more downshifting on those dang hilly roads around here. I can actually accelerate going up them in overdrive. If anyone is planning on doing the swap in the future and has any questions or problems just let me know. I think I hit every wall imaginable. Now if I could only figure out how to get the 4x4 to work.
