Hello from the Pacific Northwest,

I just baught a 92 dakota extended cab w/ 5.2/46RH for $200 but it needs a tranny. The problem is i cant afford a complete rebuild for $1500+, and none of the junkyards in the area have one. Can i bolt in a tranny from another dodge, maybe a 1500 ram?

Thanks for the help.

 

Welcome to DF Nachos Ill move you question over to the 1st Gen Dakota Section for better input Enjoy the site

 

Any ram or van or even jeeps with the v8 magnum will work from 92-95. Just make sure you get the same drive train. If yours is 2wd. Make sure you get a 2wd or vice versa.

 

ok thanks for the info, the local junk yards were telling me that a tranny from a 1500 wouldnt work it had to be from a 92-93 dakota, it just didnt sound right so i needed a second opinion.
