Take a look at the electrical connections to be sure but I agree with Ken00 you should be able to swap your tranny with a tranny from an 88 ranger . You may also be able to swap with an 87 ranger, the 87 bronco 2 will not swap with yours though, I'm certain.

You will not be able to swap with an 87 or below A4LD due to the fact the 88 has dual solenoid setup. The 87 and below does not have the dual solenoids. The 89 will swap in but you will have to modify the shift linkage. The 89 and 90 has the linkage for the column shifter and the 88 has floor shifter. You will have to get an external shift control arm from an 88 and swap it over to the 89. Sounds difficult but it's quite easy. Did my swap 89 A4LD into 88 Bronco II last winter. It can be quite a learning experience doing this for the first time (in the snow).

The modulator will not stop the transmission from engaging in gear. It may cause a transmission to fail if it is allowing it to slip for an extended period of time. The modulator controls the internal hydraulic pressure depending on engine load (vacuum). A bad modulator usually will cause a transmission to slip or shift hard, depending on the failure mode.

The Ranger truck tranny's might be inetrchangeable but the tranny used in the 87 bronco 2 is not the same . My 87 bronco2 tranny is listed as a 87 only same thing with the ECM .
