You can bolt it to whatever you want. Still needs a computer to tell it to do things. A 2.9 computer will NOT work a 4R70.

However I shouldn't of chimed in this I guess since it's a 2.9. For some reason I thought I was in the 5.0.

I'm an ass, and I can admit it.

Just gotta read all the words man.

True. You'll have to get a external tranny controller for any mechanical to electronic swap. There are plenty out there and run in the 4-600 range.

Yeah, but if you are going to go with a stand-alone controller I'd try to get a 5R55. Easier swap.

Depends on which motor is driving it and what you are planning to use it for as well as power goals.

Ok I am confused what does all this mean? What should i do? I am only 15 and all this about the c5 and c4 and manual transmission or computer transmission is like teaching a 2 year old calculus.

The A4LD is the obviously trans even for the 4.0 in your situation. It is inherently a weak transmission. But if it is working fine, just go with it. Change the fluid often and don't overheat it. If you want to change transmissions, you could use a C4 or a C5 as long as you get a bellhousing from an 83-85 2.8 C5 transmission. That bellhousing will allow a C4 transmission or another C5 transmission bolt up to your engine, either 2.9 or 4.0. Got it?
