96 auto trans question

[1987rangerman]

ive got an auto transmission here for a 2wd from a 96 and a guy wants an auto transmission for a 96 4wd.....r these transmissions the same? just take off the tail shaft part and bolt the transfer case on possibly??

any info would be great. oh and these r for a 300 I6 engine

Thanks,

and ive been told the tail shaft is too long but once i said isnt there a spacer u bolt between the transmission and transfer case it always goes silent
