Best AutoTrans for me...?

[ZNathan130]

I am thinking about buying a 92 ranger. It has 4.56 gears front and rear, a dana 20 Tcase, and a c4 auto behind a 302 HO from a thunderbird.

What I would like to do is try to get a transmission with a better gear ratio for higher-speed driving. The 4R70W looks like it would be good, but will it match up with everything else there? Or is there a better trans out there for me?

You will need a separate controller for the 4R70W. We have a sticky thread on swapping a 5R55S with a stand alone controller.

If the Dana 20 has aftermarket gears (TeraLow gears), maybe swap em out for the stock ones.

4r70 tranny w/ AOD contol? that would make it fully hydro right?
