Looking for some guidance......

Apparently the transmission in the 93 Daytona, 2.5 N/A, that I drove for a year or so without any problems and then gave to my daughter to drive has major issues. Long story on what she and her Mom did, but not relevant, I guess.

My question, I have the auto trans. that came out of a 90 Caravan that donated its engine to my 91, is that the same trans? The Caravan was a turbo, so I suppose I will have some axle issues, but probably cheaper than rebuilding the trans that's in it.

I have 2 extra axles for the 91 Daytona turbo that the engine went in, will that solve the axle issue?

Well, back at it this morning doing some more research, looks like they both should be A413's, but should and is can sometimes be different.

Do the auto's have the little round identification tag on them? The spare trans is out in storage and the car is 15 miles away.

And after doing some more thinking, the turbo axles I have from the 91 are for a manual transmission, so that probably won't work either.

Wondering if the reason the turbo axles are different, is for strength and not how the go into the transaxle, maybe?

Thank you for all the responses.

Finally got to drive the car over the weekend. The problems started with a leak in a cooler line and running it low on trans. fluid and her still trying to get it home. Got that fixed and it drove just fine, although it probably did shorten it's life considerably. Then a week later, her Mom got it stuck in the snow and even though I told her not to, rocked it back and forth trying to get it out. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Anyway, now sometimes, when you take off or when it shifts into second, it shudders pretty bad, so I'm assuming the clutch packs are on their last legs. If you take off slow and are not under heavy throttle when it shifts, it doesn't do it, so I am going to let her run it until it gives up completely or until it gets warmer and then I'll throw in the other transmission.

Sounds like it should be a pretty straight forward swap.
