i have a bad transmission in my 2001 1500 i found a 97 will this transmission fit?
also it has a lift on the 97 will that also fit on the 2001? thanks for any help
just pull the valve body out of the '01 take out the electrical parts and swap them over to the '97 trans. i wish i hadnt sold my '01 transmission, cause i put in a '98 trans and didnt know about the electrical part difference.
ahhhh i see, i need to do this. i decided not to touch my motor other than the hughes plate, and im leaving the transmission alone. im going to get a mustnang gt come tax time instead.....
Don't forget the Gov switch needs to be for your year truck. The plug is different and the switch mounts to the Gov body differently. So you may need to Gov body too. I had all the transmissions in front of me, so I just swapped the body itself. The 2 styles are, one switch mounts from the outside with the solenoid bracket, and the other mount's with a clip internally.
