what tranny fits my truck

[clinton]

i have a 89 4x4 ranger with a automatic what trans will fit in it . I cant fined a tranny any where around. The salvage yards say i can only get a trans out of a 88-89 ranger or bronco

After a quick bit of research, you're looking for a Ford A4LD, which was used in Rangers until '95, Explorers until '94, and oddly enough, Mazda B-Series (a fraternal twin to the Ranger) until 2002.

I just threw up a lot.


I can't see what the problem is though. You have an 89, the yard has a trans for an 88-89.... I don't see the problem.

dont mean to thread jack, but what other auto transmisions will bolt up to a 2.9? newer than the al4d.

 

[adsm08]

Bolt to, or work properly with?

The 4R and 5R series transmissions will bolt to, with the proper flex plate.

The problem is the control systems. The 4R and 5R use different electronic control systems, usually integrated into the PCM, and so electronically they won't work with the 2.9L.

i think i will get a 5 speed manual when a4ld's become exstinct... i wonder how much work it'll take to get a 5 speed auto from a newer 4.0 to work on a 2.9...
