tranny swap


Recommended Posts

I have a 1994 loyale 4wd auto. I have a chance to get a 1989 turbo auto. I guess these are 4eat. I have been told they are better trannys. I want to stay with auto because I am tired of shifting.

Anywho can someone tell me what I will need to do this. will it bolt up to the rear .

What parts besides tranny should I take, This is all new to me so I want to make sure I get everything I need,

 

Also will this fit or will it be junk. I don't know I need advice, thanks

The 1989 turbo auto trans is probably a 4EAT, and in 94 they only offered the 3 speed in the Loyale. Sorry to break it to you, but if that's the case, this swap requires so much rewiring, you're better off not even bothering. The 4EAT takes a wiring harness as big as the engine's, has its own computer, and is also tied into the ECM I believe.

 

If the 89 trans is a 3 speed, it'll be a direct swap- but you must make sure the diffs match. IIRC the 89 turbo is a 3.7 final drive and the Loyale is a 3.9, so you'd need to swap the rear diff too.
