possibe trans swap
Well, the C6 in my 89 is on its last legs it appears. I ve got low and second, and sometimes it has Drive. Pulled the pan and there's some metal in it, so it's definitely time for a rebuild.
I also have an 82 "project" Bronco with a small block and a C6.
The big question is will the 82 trans go into the 89 with no problems? I fugure that'll keep me on the road while I get the 89 rebuilt.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Just curious,
I didn't think that the '89 came with a C6 tranny. I had an '89 XLT Bronco at one point, and it came with an AOD tranny. Double check to make sure that your tranny is a C6 or not. If it turns out to be an AOD tranny, I would not go backwards in technology myself.

On your door sticker, look at the TRANS code on the bottom line: K is the C6 & T is the AOD.

I would like to swap a C6 for the E40D only becuase I'm not going to be towing anything serious. I know that I would have to buy a computer to operate the tranny and I know that it would likely be expensive but money is money right?? How much would it cost for a swap like this to be done?

I'd guess $1000 for all junkyard parts; $1600 for all reman parts; both, with you doing ALL the labor. The E4OD was used successfully in 1-ton turbo diesels, so it's a towing transmission. An AOD swap would be MUCH easier, cheaper, quicker, & just as reliable if you're not towing. I'd guess you could do an AOD swap for $400 junk / $600 reman.
