Hey guys! Newbie here. Just had my VW TDI blow up on me so i'm a transfer from the TDI forums as i've just purchased a 2001 2.5l 2wd Ranger. I apologize for the stupid question as i'm coming from a whole other world over there and starting all my knowledge from scratch.
I know i'm going to need to rebuild the transmission eminently so i'm looking to see if i can find a donor transmission that i can rebuild in my spare time and just have ready to go to swap into the truck when I have the time and am ready. I am struggling to find what donors will actually be the same. I know 4wd transmissions are out unless I replace the main shaft and some other things which aren't worth it. But can i put a transmission from a 3.0l or 4.0l into my 2.5l truck as long as it was also a 2wd?
Sorry far in advance if I just missed this information somewhere. There is a guy selling a tranny that needs to be rebuilt for $100 but it came out of 3.0l. Just need to make sure it would work.
Thanks so much guys!
