I'm getting so Frustrated http://bestsmileys.com/frustrated/7.gif with my E-4OD That I'm considering swaping to a C-6 Trans & wonder what all that would be involved?

How would it effect the ECU?
If the VSS in the transfer case is sending a signal to the Computer & theres no E-4OD for it to talk too? :humm_smilie:
Hows that gonna effect my engine's performance?

If I remember correctly I had the trans wiring disconected once & the engine ran like crap like it was on 2 cylinders..

I'm not 100% convined I'll do this swap but, I'd like to learn what involved.
Because I can see a Tranny shop charging my around $2,500.00 to re-build my E-4OD.

What might it cost to swap over to the C-6
I realize I'd need to change out from the 4:88 axle gears as well.

Ok lets assume I go ahead & rebuild my E-4OD & the shop gets all the Bugs out.
That would be great.
But Those pesky electrical gremlins might find there way back into it again some time later. :shrug:

Considering I like driving Blanco fast in the rough stuff.
Theres lots of hard bumps that might mess with the eletrical stuff maybe?

& each time I rebuild the trans it will cost $2,500.00

& rebuilding a C-6 has got to be alot cheaper than that.

If I re-build the trans again, It will be the 3rd trans in the 3 years that I've owned the Bronco.

Raffy did the same thing, basically all you need to do is get a C6 the correct X member new driveshafts (the C6 is shorter) and a computer for a manual transmission truck. As for the VSS that only really comes into play for your RABS system.

Manual Trans Computer of course! :)

Did'nt Raf have to build his own custom X member?

go on www.FullSizeBronco.com and search for a thread by "Stressed" named "Reviving The Turd".. Lots of information there..

What no direct link? :shrug:

Did you have to build a custom Cross member or you wanted to?

You gotta do some leg work if you are serious about the swap..

I'm thinking that an '88-'89 Bronco with a C-6 should have all the parts I'd need for the swap....:humm_smilie:

At this point I found a trans shop in Van nuys that will use what they call a Break out box on the trans fooling it into thinking its still hooked up into the Broncos system when its not & they could shift it all manually to confirm weather or not its really an eletrical Problem. :shrug:

Wish me luck, that its really a electrical issue! http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/181283/fullsize/prayer.gif
