So I'm doing the swap later this month. Will take pics. But got a quick question. Is the 4r55e controlled by a rec iv computer in its earlier state? If so what do yall think about keeping the rec iv stuff but going to a 4r55e instead of the a4old. Using the wiring harness from like a 1994 in my truck? Any thoughts?

The 4R transmissions started in 95. You'd need the proper year harness and computer to run the trans properly because of the different level of electronic control.

It really is a glorified A4LD, but the valve bodies are different.
