I have a 1990 3.9L v6 Dakota with a rebuilt tranny with an unhealthy engine and a nicer 1992 3.9L v6 Dakota with a failing transmission. Does anyone know for certain if its possible to pull the 1990 transmission and pop it the 1992 Dakota with little to zero adjustments? Do those models have the same mount points / bolt mounts?

 

Same trans with all the same mounts .

 

Awesome! That is good to hear. I can save a little money now. I'll have a left over 1990 dodge with a failing engine & tranny. And one 1992 thats up to par.

Anyone in the DFW area of TX interested in a 'free' 1990 dakota if you swap the trannys for me? I'll have to post pictures of it soon. The 1990 has a dented front bumper and driver side fender. The bed of the truck is an extended bed and its in good shape (other than a .44 cal bullet hole[don't ask]). Feel free to message me if you're seriously interested.

 

Would you be interested in parting with the headrests from the '90 Dak? Mine are toast.

 

if it has cruise control on the directional im looking for the slide buttons

 

pretty sure it's the same, except the 87-91 had a rod for the shift linkage and the 92-96 has a cable.

 

you mean the detent(tv) cable i think dont you? but the trannys are the same

 

your right bad.

 

Are the 90 3.9L A500 transmission the same as a 93 3.9L transmission in the Dakotas? Do you have to change out the solenoid or something to make the OD work?

 

As far as I know it is almost the same the only difference is the 93 has a 42rh which is electronic controled od and torque converter clutch. Here is an artical about the a518 to 46rh. Which is the same as the a500 to 42rh. It can give you some info. http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/...feature15.html
