Will a transmission from 1995 dodge ram 2500 van fit in 1996 van?

It's highly likely, but not guaranteed. 1995 and 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 vans are very similar, but there might be minor differences in the transmission itself or the mounting points.

To be absolutely sure, you need to:

* Verify the engine: The transmission must match the engine. A transmission from a gas engine won't work in a diesel van, and vice-versa.

* Check the transmission codes: Find the transmission code on both transmissions (usually stamped on the transmission case). These codes indicate specific versions and variations. Identical codes are a strong indicator of compatibility.

* Compare the bellhousing: The bellhousing is the part that connects the transmission to the engine. These need to be compatible. A visual comparison might be enough, but ideally you would check part numbers.

Without checking these specifics, you're taking a risk. While it's *probable* a direct swap, slight variations could lead to fitment issues.
