Automatic
Hello, I am new to forums and this site. I am hoping someone can help me with a question. I have a 1993 ford explorer, automatic 4 wheel drive, and the transmission is shot. I have available to me a low mile transmission out of a 1990 Bronco II, it is also automatic and four wheel drive. Is this a direct swap or are there other things I need to check before I buy the Bronco II transmission? Any help would be great. Thanks, Mark

The 4.0 will kill that trans. It's not as strong internally as the 4.0 version.

Yes... Though the internals in the later transmissions and specifically the 4.0L are a little different to help handle the 4.0L low end torque... The beefed up A4LD behind the 4.0L is still notorious for leaving before it's done it's proper service life, and one from behind a 2.9 will only be worse... Although, if you still want to use it make sure it's not abused and it is properly serviced and it will probably make it for a while...
