2wd conversion to 4x4

[1996DANGERRANGER]

my trans is junk. its gonna cost me like 700 bucks to get it fixed. so i was wondering one if a 4banger trans can even bolt to a 4.0V6 and can you easily change the tail shaft to make it 4x4

any help will be appreciated

4 cyls have a different bell housing pattern than v6s. To convert a 2wd trans to a 4wd, not only do you have to swap tail housings, you also have to swap the output shaft, which requires disassembling the entire trans.

Not only do you have to swap the tail housing you will need to change the entire front end(front diff.,spindles,I-beams,etc)

GOOD LUCK

4cyl trans will not bolt up to a 4.0L V6. As for a 4wd conversion. You'd need to decide how much work you'd like to do. You'd need a 4wd trans, and also you'd need a transfer case. To change tailhouses, you'd need to disassemble the trans to swap output shafts, just easier to find a 4wd trans. Secondly depending on what you intend to use the 4wd for, you'd have to decide, SAS, or stock. Next once you've done that, you'd need to swap the front engine crossmember out for a 4wd one. At this point a 4wd rolling chasis would be just easier, and swap your body and powertrain on to it. You'd need quite a few parts, and some time depending on your skill level to complete the swap.
