96 Transmission Swap
My transmission has been giving me a lot of grief lately, particularly in first gear. After finding out that the previous owner didn't take very good care of it(not changing fluid, and rocketing off of stop signs). I thought i would use the opportunity to do the 4X4 conversion. Now the question is what years of transmissions will work in a 96. I have heard that it has to be a 96+ to be compatible with the TCU but the trans in older models will work. Any help would be great, thanks guys.

92-96 should be a direct swap, 97 can use the same but needs some rewiring of the harness. '98-2001 have a 2nd VSS so are different.
There are NEW '96 trans available on the net from various sources for ~$1300. I typed NEW, and they include a new torque converter.
There is a thread or info somewhere on CF or elsewere on the net as to what is interchangeable as far as the AW4 and transfer cases goes.
