1995 Eddie Bauer Tranny

[oppietam]

I am not sure that this is where this goes, if not feel free to move it to the correct location. I have several questions, and any answers at this point would be very much appreciated. I have a 1995 Eddie Bauer explorer. Automatic 2wd with a shot tranny.

1) Did this model use the 5r55e or the 4r55e?

2) What other vehicles used the same tranny that I could look into buying?

3) Anyone got a used one for sale at a good price (single mom here!)



Thanks in advance. I'm not good with vehicles, and the shop quoted me 1700 - 2200 to repair. At this point I can't do that. I have someone who can drop the tran and put in a used one if I can find it!

(1) It will be a 4 spd auto...4R55E (actually guys, does 2wd use a different trans??)
(2) I'm not sure.
(3) I don't. But there are plenty of good quality rebuilders around. Lots of crappy ones too, so be careful.
(4) No. Altogether different drivetrain.

Wish I could be of more help. Good luck!

Thanks....

Would it be better for me to go with a used tran, or buy a kit to have the one I have rebuilt? I am going for the least expensive way I can go.
