Anyone know if this is a 4R70W trans

Monster Mike · May 23, 2011

this lady bought this tranny from a wrecking yard or a tranny rebuild shop. After buying it for her 98 explorer she discovered it was the tc not the trans that needed to be replaced.

If there is a simple way to tell if I'm looking at a 4R70W please let me know.

Thx!

Looks like a 4R70W to me.

Thx, yeah just confirmed the I.d. Tag on google. Think $475 is a fair price?

Not a bad price...she doesn't list mileage - I'd ask (if she was even told what it was).

Monster Mike · May 23, 2011

Yeah she probably doesn't know. Bought it from a place in phoenix called elite auto parts. She paid $515.

There's also a 97 for sale, remind me why I should steer clear of the 97 auto trans?

Consider it a 'core' sense it's basically an 'unknown' trans. Pick and pull tranmissions generally go for $160 in AZ, add $40 for the torque converter, maybe another hundred for convenience

I bought a 97' 4R for $75 a couple of years ago, it only has 7500 miles on it! Maybe I'll get around to using it someday%)

If you dont, I know one little boy who would love to take it off of your hands... ;D

Can anyone tell me if the 4r is any different from a 97 vs a 98?

There's a 97 for sale & I can buy the whole thing for a grand. Then not only would I have a 4r but I would also have the serpentine setup, upper manifold maybe, some other things I'm possibly forgetting then part out the rest

'98 is supposed to be better.

I believed that they changed some wiring around and the pin outs are different. I believe the internals are the same. I saw something about a different type of speed sensor.
