Transmission Question

[Froggy]

Hi, I have a 1996 Ranger Ext cab, 4x4, 4.0 -6cyl. The auto trans has a problem going into first gear.
I have found a replacement trans, but it comes from a 2 wheel drive truck.
Motor is same as mine.
Will this trans fit my 4x4 truck? Thanks in advance.

A two wheel drive transmission has a different tail shaft housing than four wheel drive and generally a different output shaft. That’s not to say you couldn’t use the tail shaft housing and output shaft from the trans you currently have but that requires some disassembly and some familiarity. I would look for a trans from a four wheel drive
