1986 Bronco ll. Transmission interchange.

[filtersteve]

Hi everybody, I'm new to forum. I have a 1986 Bronco ll with automatic transmission (A4LD Code T). Does anybody know what other transmissions that will interchange with the Bronco transmission. I have heard that a 1988 Ford Range XLT will????

Thanks for your help!

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the transmission section. Many Ford RWD vehicles have an A4LD such as the Explorer & Aerostar.

For a direct, "plug and play" swap, you'll want an A4LD from 1) behind a 2.8 or 2.9 L engine 2) from an '85 to '87 and 3) 4wd (especially if your BII is 4wd. you can also use an A4LD from a 2wd BII because they used a dummy transfer case). As noted, the A4LD was used in many RWD/4WD applications like the BII/Ranger/Explorer/Aerostar.

If you are willing to go beyond "plug and play" simplicity, you can use any A4LD ('85 to '94) from behind a 2.8, 2.9, or 4.0.
