I found this information on TRS forums. so as long as I find the part 4R44E from a 1995-2000 3.0 ranger, than I can swap it into my 96 which needs a new tranny? Thanks for any help or tips. it is much appreciated.

ok, im pretty sure all 4r44e are for 3.0s, the 5r55e is for 4.0s. So there would never be a case were a 4r44e would be used for anything but a 3.0, correct me if wrong. im just trying to understand!

I believe the 4R44E would have been used behind 4 cylinder trucks too but it would have a different bellhousing.

I am looking at the following websites to purchase this transmission if I cannot locate a sellers soon on TRS. Has anyone done business with these guys (linked below). Thanks! Would I need any other parts to purchase If I know only the transmission needs replaced (from diagnostic report from ford dealership)
