A truck that old, you would be better off selling it or buying something else that is an automatic...
you will need the following parts:
- transmission for a 4wd 4.0
- PCM out of the same year, same engine, w/ auto trans
- engine wiring harness
- transmission wiring harness
- flywheel
- flywheel spacer
- torque converter
- steering column for an auto transmission truck
- gauge cluster insert
- starter
- radiator for an auto transmission truck
- cooling lines
the transfer case will work and so will both driveshafts.....the transmission crossmember is in the same spot....
look to spend about $1500-$2000 on the swap.

Wow ...looks like I'll be rebuilding the stock 5 speed trany...... Thanks alot guys for the good info.
They want about $500 for the new clutch installed.
How easy is it to take out and replace the clutch on this truck?
I have done several older mustangs and am a avid shade tree mechanic. I just built a old chevelle from ground up to give you some idea of my knowledge.
The guy at the shop said it was like 8 hours in the book on this job. I figured it would at least take me a day to do. What do you guys think?

When I say older mustangs I mean 60's . I also did a 2 wheel drive in my 99 chevy fullsize. Is it sorta the same process?
What scale of diffaculty is it?
I'm asuming its the tranny, because I can hear the bearing spinning on the shaft/plate when its in gear. otherwise it engages fine. I also have to replace 4th gear internal fork. It pops out on me when driving.
Thanks.
