please do a search this has been talked about many times and there is a tech library that has some great information about what transmission will work for the B2.

Yes. Search.

Depends on a lot of things... What are your plans? Auto manual. Stock motor? And more.

Mdo5 for manual
A4ld for auto. Don't hate. My a4ld has been great to me.

Who needs a transmission. Just put some really low gears in the back and hook a TC right to a drive shaft. You'll be fine.


Pfff, transmission. What crazy fancy features will these kids want next, pneumatic tires?

Probably an M5OD or an A4ld built to explorer specs.
