hello all
i love my dodge dakota truck and really want to keep it going
i have a 1989 dodge dakota v6 3.9 manual with 250,000 on the engine, i just swapped the engine out after the oil pump died and went with an engine from a pull apart that only had 100,000 on it. it was going strong till last week
then the leaks from the tranny started and before i knew it i was on a long haul from boston back home to kentucky when this whining and scream started and it all locked up (luckily just about 40 miles from my home). it starts and runs fine but won't go into gear at all. the stick goes into first but nothing "grabs" you know........so i went and purchased a transmission from a guy down the road, he has a 4 cyl. engine 5 speed transmission out of 93 dodge dakota only 120,000 miles, it was 50.00.
will these trade out or do i have a 50 dollar paper weight?
thanks guys for any help
