why did my thread get moved?

Is this a question about a "4x4" and changing the tranny to an automatic? 4x4 related threads go in the 4x4 forum.

and in addition to my post up there. a tranny cooler or a radiator for an automatic. when i did my daughters I just took the clutch petal and after diconnecting it put it up against the floor and under the carpet. good idea bacause the son-in-law later put a 4 speed back in it.
