- Stop skipping steps and get it done right the first time.
So I recently did a full engine rebuild on my sons 91 Explorer sport With the 4.0 OHV with a manual trans and 4WD that we acquired from an impound yard for $200. it was in such bad shape that i thought I had better see what the transmission looks like...
to my surprise, there are several shattered gears..... theyre all missing teeth...first gear looks like all the teeth busted off and they kept driving it like that for years...
i have pictures if anyone wants...
Im pretty well versed as far as everything else goes in these things, but i really dont know anything about the trans/transfer cases. the only problem ive ever come across is the electric shift motor problem....
so, can i please get some guidance here?
am I better off looking for a different transmission entirely, or is it just as cheap to replace all the internals?
can a 2WD transmission be used if i put the tail housing from my 4WD on it?
last but not least, will an automatic bolt up and work the same as a manual?
