Will a 1995 dodge ram 1500 transmission 318 motor fit on 1999 with 318?

It's *highly likely* a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 transmission (assuming it's a 318 engine) will *not* be a direct bolt-on fit for a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 318. While both trucks use 318s, there are likely differences in the transmission bellhousing pattern, the transmission itself (different gear ratios, overdrive capabilities), and potentially the engine mounts between the 1995 and 1999 model years.

Even if the bellhousing bolts line up, other issues like driveshafts, computer compatibility (especially with automatic transmissions and their control modules), and potentially even the crossmember might prevent a successful swap.

In short: Don't assume compatibility. You'd need to verify the specific transmission part numbers for both trucks and do thorough research to confirm compatibility before attempting the swap. Even then, you might need modifications or adapter parts.
