a4ld help

[mjchris]

my tranny in my 87 ranger 2.9 liter 4x4 has gone i found an 88 a4ld to replace it but was told it would'nt work that i would have to "modify"the valve body for it to be compatible.could i not just take the valve body from the 87' a4ld and put it in the 88' a4ld is that all that i would need to do or is there anything else ?

if your truck had a a4ld in it there is no difference

They are different. Up to 87 had a single solenoid that operates TCC. 88- 94 have 2 solenoids. TCC and 3-4 shift.

Yes you can swap valve bodys .

Of course they're different over the years.

Column VS floor shifter....

And there's also the whole single solenoid VS 2 solenoids on the later models.....
