My 94 4x4 w/22re and 5 speed pops out of first when i try to take off as I mentioned in another thread. I replaced the spacer and bushing in the shifter and still have the same problem so I'm considering replacing the tranny since it's not that big a deal. But I really think for the type of driving I do that I'd really like to have an automatic. Welding work is not a problem. Can anyone clue me in on what else might be required, and recommend the proper tranny to look for? This is a good opportunity to do something cool.

For starters you'll need the tranny AND T-CASE and the tranny's ECM and harness. Maybe the engine ECM also. And an aftermarket cooler of course. Best bet would be to find a truck of the same year and strip what you need off it. Another year would be next best.

Thanks man. That is WAY more work than just swapping another original tranny. I didn't realize the autos had their own computer.

Can you help me determine which tranny I have? It's in a 94 reg cab 4x4 with a 22re and a 5 speed. I just found a used W56 with a transfer case I'll buy if it will fit. then I'll have another transfer case.
