BulletProof XMSN

[4x4Wheeler]

Hello All,

I just had my 2nd Transmission go on me. The shop around here said $1500 to rebuild mine and I will get a 1year warranty/12,000 miles.

What are my options? I like to play in the mud and dont want to smoke another transmission. Can I convert it to a C-6 or C-4 or is there an aftermarket for a bulletproof xmsn??

Thanks for your help,
Wheeler

There are a couple of options. You can swap in a C-4 or C-5, but you'll need to find the correct bell housing. The other option is a 700-R4 swap. Adnvanced Adapters sells the adapters. Do a search for 700R4.

If you can sacrifice Overdrive, then yes, a C-4 can be bolted up to the 4.0L using a C5 bellhousing.

Another option is to use Advance Adapters kits to put a 700R4 in.

Do a search for either and you should come up with plenty of info.

Sounds like there's an echo in this thread.

Thanks for the replies!

Sounds like the 700R4 is the better xmsn but costs more?

I dont need o/d...i just need something that I can hammer on(within reason) and it will still get me home.

What can I expect to pay for the parts? I can do the install.

I don't know what a C-4 costs to rebuild, but the 700R4 will cost more initially (I think I mention cost in my swap thread that DWD linked to) but a rebuild will be much cheaper than rebuilding your current A4LD, and should hold up better.

So if I go with a C-5 bellhousing and a C-4 xmns these things will bolt right into place. Or is there going to be fabbing involved.
