does any 55e work in place of the 44e?

[cobainfan90]

ive been doing research and i found a thread where a guy did a swap but he used a 98? i found newer ones from 2000 - up and was wondering if they would work as well because in the tech library it says rangers from 97-09 used it

You're truck already has a 4R55E transmission. The 2.3L and 3.0L pickups used the weaker 4R44E of that year.

Any 4r55e from a 4.0L will fit your truck. Any 5r55e from a 4.0L will fit your truck bit will require the PCM to be swapped. OHV or SOHC doesn't matter, they both use the same transmission bell housing bolt pattern.

i thought there was a 1 one hole difference between the 2 bell housings... @ 2 o'clock if you look at it from behind?

Yes, but the rest line up and you can leave that bolt out.

The PCM under the dash by the emergency fuel shut off? And will the new PCM effect my motor running. It's a 96 4.0 so I'm wondering what years of the 5r55e will work with my truck
