I'm going to be puting a 89 body on a 88 frame, the 88 has a manual transfer the 89 has an auto. I like the free space on the floor and I'd rather swap the cases than cut a hole on my floor, but it seems everyone says the autos are junk. Why?

There's nothing wrong with them. it is usually a $.05 piece of bushing that deteriorates causing the electronic shift wafer to lose it's home position. It can be fixed with a 3/16 piece of rubber hose and an hour of labor... I like mine, now that it works

My auto t-case works, but the whole back up to deactivate is what makes me want to put the 1350 my Explorer. Did the 84 B2 come with a 1350 and if so is it bolt in swap (minus shift linkage) with 1354 from my Explorer?
