Damned thing!!!

['99 EB Explorer]

Ok...so my '99 Eddie lost reverse AGAIN!!

At this point I'm thinking about putting in a C4 or C5 to replace whatever garbage transmission is currently in there.

Now the question part...

Would it work?
What would I need?
Any tips/ideas/etc???
Is it even possible to bolt up to a SOHC?

I've had enough of this issue...i'm really considering a jeep later this summer if this keeps up.

Any help would be appreciated at this point.

Thanks guys 'n gals

go manual.

Ok..I thought of that too. Is there an adapter plate to mate a 5-speed to a SOHC 4.0L?? And if there is, has anyone ever re-located the "computer" from the center console on an Eddie? I know there's going to be a lot of plastic needing to be cut and removed if I go stick.

They say that a 4.0 M50D fits on a sohc all but one hole and they work.Imho ford did'nt make very many good automatic transmissions.

Yeah they have a 5 speed stick for the SOHC 4.0L All newer rangers have the SOHC and many have the M5OD so just grab one of those, if you can find a wrecked ranger get it as a cheap parts truck so you have everything you need.

I have a box for 4x4 under my plastic thing it is right behind the shift and isn't in the way. your computer should be behind the kick panel...
