Ranger/explorer tranny

[Johnny5101]

Trying to figure out if my 1995 4.oL auto tranny will work for a 1993 4.0L auto ford ranger. Anyone out there know if it will fit?

'95 was the first year for the 4R55E (aka A4LDE). Mechanically it is nearly identical to the A4LD in the '93, but the E stands for electronically controlled. You could probably easily fit the '95 into the '93, but the '93's computer would not be able to control the '95 transmission. If you are willing to work through the electronic headaches, I'm sure you could make the '95 transmission work. If you are looking for a "plug and play" swap, it won't readily work.
