'88-93 are the better boxes, from behind V8 or out of truck with 6 or V8.

You got a trans shop? Maybe a simple adjustment?

These are iffy transmissions. You are as likely to end up with a problem with a scrappy special as you are to fix the one your have.

Two different tailshafts would be 4x2 vs 4x4 application. You need to measure yours.

The symptoms you describe--What is going on? Your transmission is failing.

Did someone fool with the linkage, specifically the TV cable or linkage recently?

A problem like this requires a teardown.

There are plenty of trans shops in your area.

For a trans, try placing a want ad here, or try Craigs list. As I said, buying and installing a used AOD is risky business.
