It should, just make sure the valve body and trans is actually the same casting. There wer some changes in 1989 and I don't know that the valve bodies will interchange directly.

It will bolt in with no problems. It really doesn't matter which valve body you use, as calibration isn't noticeably different. If I had to pick, I would instead use the valve body with less miles on it, because the AOD valve bodies do wear out.
Note, when you do this? Switch to Mercon V fluid.

Unrelated: Would there be anything to be gained by using modern synthetic fluids in an older transmission that calls for Type F?
BTW, Relik: You didn't mention what shift kit you want to use, but please don't waste your time with a B&M Shift Improver kit! I've scarcely heard them reported to do anything at all ... the one I installed myself once sure didn't do much.Last edited by 1987cp; 10-30-2008, 11:39 AM.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

The amsoil atf is more than likely the best stuff out there, but it's also 11 bucks a quart. If money's no object, that's the stuff I'd go for. I've heard nothing but good stuff about it--even in super-finicky Honda automatics, where it seems to perform better than the Honda OEM Z1.
Bottom line: You can probably get longer drain intervals and less friction out of the spendy stuff, but I have had zero complaints with the wal-mart house brand.Originally posted by gadget73There is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.
