if i recall it depends on the transfer case. 231 or 242. i think the splines are different. dont quote me. someone may chime in and correct me. if i didnt live in indiana, i would give you an aw4. i have a spare. heck i would even stongly consider delivering it to you just to visit big sky country.

no. the aw4 behind the 4.0 is ONLY available from 1987 to 1990.


that's for a bolt-in replacement.

if you're having shifting issues, you MUST replace the torque converter. and unless you want a brand new one, that limits you to buying a 1987 to 1990.

Not sure, I just know the spline counts. Most likely it would be the same but im not sure.

For the price of the pump you might be better off just buying a whole new junkyard trans..
