A500 OD spring is completely collapsed inside OD hub, is it possible it is still under tension and stuck or just completely dead and not falling out, the bottom of the spring and OD hub are even.....
BudW, by any chance do you know what years/vehicles are directly interchangeable, meaning plug and play???Depending on what year transmission you find - you might have to reuse your existing case (if good) and/or valve body.
You valve body shouldn't be damaged per-se, but it will need a thorough/in-depth cleaning.

OK, so as long as RWD V6 Dakota RH and not RE it should bolt in and plug in....Should be 1987 to early 1996 Dakota interchange. At some point in the 96 model year it went to full electronic. My early (Aug 15, 1995) build 96 Dakota has only OD and TCC electronic.
Thank you, that led me to Pullapart Interchange, mainly for newer vehicles, but you could use it to retro fit the OD's for the FMJ's out there....If you have a good (meaning nice people) salvage yard near you, they would be able to look up and tell you which years and models of trucks are a direct interchange. Probably online now, but they used to have those big Hollanders Interchange books behind the counter.
Yes, that is what I am seeing looking at car-part.com also for transmissions...Looks like I was wrong on the years that are plug and play, oops.
If I read it right, 87-91 3.9 Dakota and 3.9 D100/D150 are direct interchange, correct?
