Just did a Trany swap. we put an 85 Trany in my 87. There is a differance! the hose holder on top must be changed, the thing that looks like a close hanger. We realized this after we got it in. Then I broke the bracket trying to get it off. It was hard finding a used cheap Trany. After much searching I bought a whole van that need work. Now I have extra parts. Brian
