5R55E 4WD vs 2WD

The 4.0 has a unique bolt pattern so no worry about getting a weaker trans. The main issue will be the length of the tail shaft. Most 4x4 transmissions have shorter shafts and I do not believe this trans is an exception. The bad thing is swapping the shaft involves complete disassembly of the transmission.

Just did a search and it confirmed my suspicions. The tail (output) shafts are different lengths and must be swapped in order for the 2wd trans to work. The really bad part is that it is the last part of the transmission to be removed upon disassembly. So basically you have to completely tear down the transmission and if you are going to go that deep you might as well just rebuild your existing tranny.

What do you mean by "tranny is dying"????
If it's never had a pan drop & cleaning, tranny filter change & full fluid pump out, maybe all it needs is a little TLC!!!!

4WD vs 2WD tranny
thanks for the answers
tranny has 145,000 miles and is now making a grinding noise and does not shift very well from 1st to 2nd.
fluid and filter have been changed several times
bummer that the 2WD and 4WD tailshafts are different as I found a 02, 4.0 tranny 2WD with 25,000 miles on it for sale.
