    Post Which Auto trans can i use??

    Hi guys,
    I have a 08/94 VR Statesman. My trans has just blown up and i have just bought a 7HBD trans and am wondering if anyone has ever put one of these in a VR??
    The current trans in vehicle is not the original and ever since it was replaced,
    worked fine most of the time except occasionally the engine light would come on and
    shifts were very hard which i could put up with.
    By the way the engine is a V8.
    Would really appreciate any help, Thanks..

    Check the electrical plug - count the pins. On the V6 models, the plug on later models has more pins, and this is the problem. With a bit of luck the V8 did not have this problem but someone else on the forum should know.
