1997 Explorer T-Case swap

[Road2Rage]

I have , what I think, is a T-case on it`s way out. It`s in a 1997 Explorer XL 4l single cam.
My question is, will a T-case from a 1994 Explorer 4l swap in?
I don`t have the funds to rebuild, but a buddy is parting out a 1994 with a great T-case.

I hope this post is in the right spot o.0

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Try this and maybe you can decipher which trans and transfer case each truck has. Doesn't look like it will work.

In a word: Nossir... A 94 case will not be a direct replacement for a 97 case. Can it be made to work? Yes, but if and only if it's a MANUAL case out of a 94.

The only direct replacement for the 97 case is another 97 case. Sorry.

manual or e shift, it doesnt matter

I never said it wouldn't bolt up... It will, and we all know that. My point is that the only direct bolt-up plug-and-play replacement for a 97 is the 97 case. It has the correct connectors, correct function when connected, and correct outputs to mate up with the OEM driveshafts.

I should have been more clear...

*Sigh* Ever notice the parts you get for free are the ones that don`t fit/work?
Well...Thanks for the info guys. I guess I`m hunting in the wreckers. Mine says on the case, "Borg Warner Electronic", so that`s not a manual.
I`ll let you know if I find a working one. I need it for this winter. Cheers!
