Auto Parts: 89 bronco aod, tail shaft, pep boys

Question
I need a new aod for my 89 fullsize bronco4x4. I have a 2wd aod and was woundering if I could put the 2wd aod in place of the 4x4 aod. I need to know if I could cut down the tail shaft on the 2wd to fit the transfer case? or if it is the same length already?

Answer
Hi Jeff,

The interchange I have says no. You can modify as needed to make it fit but I can't tell you what issues you'll run into.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
