Hey guys, Ive decide to stop lurking, and join in. I have an 87 Eddie Baur BII, all stock and in nice shape. 2.9L, A4LD, BW1350 electric. I also have a 85 BII, 2.8L, Fm145, BW1350 manual. AND a 92 explorer 2door, 4.0,M5OD,1354 electric. SOOOO.... The 87 Eddie Baur is my daily driver and the other two make my house look like somebody's home. I want to put the 92 Exp M5OD in the 87 Eddie Baur (replace the A4ld) and the 85 BII 1350 Manual behind it. I haven't found a write up on replacing a BII (2.9L) A4LD with a Explorer (4.0) M5OD. I wonder if someone could be helpful here. Why am i doing this? I originally wanted to keep the 87 Eddie Baur all nice and stock, and original, but the A4LD had the screwy overdrive issue. I'm ashamed to say I took it to a local mechanic who promised to fix it, and $2800 (and all summer) later I have an all new inside A4LD with the issue still the same.:annoyed: ...a single tear rolls down....

I actually just want to put the M5OD Trans, and the BW 1350 Manual in right now, that way I can drive while I rebuild the 4.0. I can then swap it in at a later date.
I live about 40 min. south of Stillwater near a very small town called Luther.

My A4LD is acting exactly like That of W3DBS,s in an earlier posting. It'd be great to find the solution to that issue, as well.

I'm wondering how much trouble the manual 1350 install will be. If i put the M50D behind the 2.9, will i have to change the original drive shafts that were with the A4LD?

Everything should be the same length. I believe the A4LD is the same length as the M5OD

Anybody know what the tool is that is used to disconnect the clutch master cylinder Hydrolic line, on the M5OD? My Haynes says use the appropriate tool. No pic.
