LOL....

I couldn't agree more, but yes, it will work. (but.....for how long.....?)

EDIT: oh yeah...as long as the donor truck is also a 4X4

yea donor truck is 4x4, but i seen in the tech library that in 92 they went to a electric overdrive so i guess that would be one of the problems.

I can't see where that would be a problem.

I believe that starting in '88 ALL A4LD's were computer controlled lock-up and overdrive. (hence, the 3 pin connector towards the front)

As long as it is indeed a '92 transmission, there should be no difference from the '94 trans, unless his truck is actually a '95 which uses an all electronically controlled transmission. (4r44e?)

well, id suggest the same thing for him, 5spd swap is the most reliable route and hell have alot more power with those stock geared axles lol

really.....if he just plans on selling it then ya, toss in the auto, but if he wants to keep it stick is the only way togo

thanks to both of you for answering, do you guys know if and newer rangers (95-05) autos will work if he replaces the computer and everything?

Sounds like WAY too much work just to have an auto.

AFAIK, the computers for the newer trannys are not a "stand alone" setup. While you may be able to swap in the ECU and wiring, it will not work with your older 4.0.

right here

I honestly can't see why it would be a problem.

Perhaps he was referring to A4LD's in general, seeing as how they are not very reliable transmissions. (in case you didn't notice, many have a "hate-on" for the A4LD!)
