I pulled mine from a late 90’s Dakota that had a 5.2,
Checked the pan before I pulled it to find it very clean inside with remnants of bright red fluid.
I put a stage 2 transgo kit in it with the updated manual valve along with the “First gear at any speed” option.
I paid $125.00 for the trans, converter, dip stick and 7290 yoke out of the local pick a part.
( I think more people should say what things cost, so others could have some idea of what’s possible.)
