I’m looking to put a 2002 ford ranger 4.0 4x4 automatic transmission and replace the one I have in my 1995 ford ranger 4.0 4x4 which is also an automatic. I just want to know if this would work. any information would be the awesome thanks guys

 

Yes, that will work

1995 has a 4R55E, 2002 has a 5R55E which are the same transmissions, the 2002 5R55E has a couple of extra sensors on the outside that you won't use/need, ISS and OSS
It will act like a 4-speed, not a 5-speed because 1995 computer doesn't have the software to turn on the OD when in 1st gear to get a Faux 2nd gear the 5R has
So no difference as far as how it drives

Your speed signal will still come from transfer case's VSS, so you need to use that transfer case on the new transmission, 2002 transfer case won't have that

Not that it matters to you, but you can't go the other way, 1995-2000 automatic in a 2001 and up Ranger, because of the missing sensors, ISS and OSS, on the earlier transmissions
