96 explorer question

I'm sure it is on here but I can't find it. I have a 1996 v8 awd explorer that I swapped into my 2001 sport trac. Had it running and driving and then the trans exploded. What are the donor trans options. I think it is the 4r70w is there a difference in 2wd and 4wd trans any help would be great.

Donor trans for this era are going to be a crap shoot. If you have time/money/ability to swap a few in to get a working one then maybe it's the right fit for you. I would look for the same year and model vehicle your current transmission came from. Check the build tag on your current one and compare to the potential donors.
