Hi, Just got a smoken deal on a 91 (4.0HP) sport in great shape. Its a deal because the tranny is out. Runs great but wont move in any gear. Took the trans cooler line off and ran the engine, nothing. No flud came out no matter what gear I put it in. It wont even click in when the shifter is moved. I checked the linkage and all is good the shift shaft even turns in the trans.
My issue is the local mechanic said about $1,800.00 to rebuild it. I can get a used one much cheaper, but wont know the history/condition of the trans. All the stuf I have found said 91-96 are the same, has anyone used and even newer transmission in the older heeps? Will a newer one go right in without modification or is it a big hassle and I should find a 91-96?
