'92 tranny in a '95?

OK- the first question you're all going to ask is 'why would you WANT to...' but hypothetically, could I put a '92 AWD tranny into a '95 AWD, and what else would I have to change out. TCU? Rear diff? Hollander says they DO NOT interchange, but anyone with real-world experience?

If it is a 92 SVX trans Dave, I don't see why it would not be OK. Diff ratio, TCU are the same.

May be not the best model as the latter ones had a lot of problems fixed.

The above is wrong, or the statement below, which has never been confirmed, is wrong.

Gearshift Maps, #189

The early ones 92 to 94, used a Normally open C solenoid. Later was 95 to 97. Used a Normally closed solenoid.

Harvey.

Wrong one way or the another. Which way, what way?

No the post is correct, you are wrong.

Dave is using all US transmissions. All the US models are interchangeable, they always used the NC solenoid.
The boxes that we were talking about on the Gearshift maps were all VTD boxes, that did have the solenoid change.

Understood and you have my apologies.

However, # 189 remains waiting answers, having as of old been side stepped.

OK no worries.

Post #189 of the Gearshift Maps, is my post. What was the question that I side stepped?

I have have no idea why Lee, us foreigners are not allowed to access those US part look-ups, so I can't tell if they changed the C solenoid for a later variation of the same solenoid.
Does make it hard to sort these things out.
