Default Tranny swap

Bleh ok

Turns out the transmission on my 95 ram lost 2nd and 3rd gear. So I have a guy who has tranny from a 96 Ram with 40k miles on it. Will that tranny work?

Ive read that 96 is the first year that some of it was electrical, so how does that affect it on the 95? Just dont plug stuff in? lol

In 96, Dodge went to an electronic governor pressure sensor, and solenoid, instead of the mechanical bits in the older models. So, no. It won't work. Your PCM won't know what to do with it.

Swapping the PCM won't work either.
