1997 Explorer
I currently drive a 97 Explorer w/ the 4.0 and automatic tranny which has 197k miles on it.. all factory. The motor is starting to get a tick, tranny chugs around and shifts heavy, and the o/d light check engine light and abs lights are all on. I found a guy who is gonna give me a deal on a 96 X w/ the 4.0ltr however i don't know if they have the same trannys? Cause all he's gonna sell me is the motor and tranny, which I will have rebuilt and swap them myself. Just currious if the 96 has the same tranny as my 97. Thanks for any help.

I believe the 96 was still using the 4R55E, unfortunately yours is the 5R55E but you have a more selection when it comes to swaps, a 97-01 year range.
