Gonna do a little write up on my 1354e into a 2nd gen 97 Explorer. I have searched EVERY where as much as I can to see if it has been done and no one that I found was able to show that it was done or not. First my 97 TC was out. I got it running put into 4x4 and tried to flex her and all I heard was a lot of rattling. Took it out and this is what I saw after splitting the case.
SO I got another BW4405 and got it installed. Got everything buttoned up and again would not work at all. SO I went on line and explained what happen. A friend offered me a BW1354 out of a 93 explorer. It had the VSS in the tail of it and a shift motor. No looking at the TC and seeing how it worked like the 4405 I decided why not just hook up the wires from My old TC motor and mount it on there hook it up and let see what happens. So I did. I spliced together the Blue wire and green wire together. I took pics hope this helps someone.
The Circled Wires are the ones that I hooked up. Here is a bigger picture of the TC and I have circled where the 2 wires come out of.
After doing this hard work of getting the wires soldered and shrink wrapped and motor mounted got it installed into my Explorer. I right now do not have a front Drive line but after getting her installed rear drive lined hooked up I started her up and did a test. She Shifted into 4hi no problem even showed on the Dash indicator. Let the brake go and everything moved including the front. Stepped on brake and then shifted into 4lo and again let the brake go and again everything worked. Indicator and everything moving. I have yet to try and shift on the fly and not really worried about doing that. Will not be driving her daily and will not need to shift on the fly into 4hi. Just got it done but have not been able to get her on the trail. I will report as the days go on. She did drive just fine with it all installed.
Hope this helps someone else out there.
