1st generation tranny in 2nd generation

Hey everyone,

No it will not fit. The motor in your 1995 is a 420a (chrysler). The 92 is a NA 4G63 completly diffrent motors.

Re: 1st generation tranny in 2nd generation

Nope. The 2g has the front and rear motor mounts on the tranny. The 1g puts the front and rear motor mounts on the block, so the tranny wont have any mounts. You might be able to get a 2g tranny in a 1g, but not the other way around. Now, I believe it was sean caron that did put a 1g tranny in a 2g, but he had to weld up all the mounts. Who needs the hassle.

On a 2g the front mount is on the tranny. On a 1g the front mount is on the block. Its just the way it is

ok here is the top view of my motor before i pulled it... the first pic on the page! if you enlarge it the motor mount the sits on top of the crossmember is right under the left corner of the valve cover? so if it was on the ranny wouldnt it be over another 6 inches to the left? sorry i'm not tring to prove you wrong but i still dont get how that is on the tranny! http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/496801/2

Re: 1st generation tranny in 2nd generation

hehe. Its all good. After working on dozens and dozens of 1gs and 2gs, things like that are burned in my mind forever. But I do still mix things up every now and again. Not this time though heh
