Transmission question

Post by robwide »

Will a 91-93 Ford Mustang A4LD 2.3L Automatic O/D Transmission work in an 88 Bronco II 4x4 2.9L XLT?
It has the A4LD OD floor shift.

Thanks
Robert

why not put the effort into just getting an A4LD that fits already. and if you want you can get a 4.0 A4ld and it fits exactly nothing to modify. and i heard the 4.0 is stronger. thats what i replaced mine with and it works fine.

Are the out-put shafts the same on 2x4 and 4x4? Can't remember. Slept since then and it all leaked out.

I decided to go with an exact replacement. Thanks for your help.
I'm going to by a low mileage (or lower mileage anyway) from a salvage, add trans cooler.
Then rebuild my original with all updates to have lying around as a spare.

Anybody know how much one of these things weigh? Trans that is.
