After a LONG absence here, I am back and ready to start wheeling again. With my 97 being in pieces for the last 15 years and no time/money to finish the 1 ton axle swap any time soon, I am looking to get another stock/lightly modified 93-97 Ranger 4.0 and build an upgraded version of what.my 97 was before I tore it apart.

Here's my question. I have found a couple complete Ranger 4.0's with transmission issues that I can get cheap. One is a 94 with 4.0L auto which is a A4LD. The trans in my 97 should still work great, but I know it's a 5R55e. Is it possible to put the 5r55e in place of the A4LD? I have everything available from the 97 except the engine is locked up from sitting.

Any help/advice you can offer would be great.

Thanks
 
The 1994 is hydraulic controlled and the 1997 will be computer controlled. Won't work as a bolt in but I suppose with all the correct sensors and computer from the 1997 you could possibly get a working transmission.
 
Yes, +1

1995 and up Rangers used the newer EEC-V computers(OBD2) and full computer controlled automatics, 4R and 5R series
1994 and earlier used EEC-IV(OBD1) computers and A4LD automatics with only TCC and OD control

EEC-IV is a 60 wire computer, EEC-V is a 104 wire computer, so full harness swap would be needed
A working 5R55E could be sold to get a working A4LD
