700r4, specific questions as I've read much

Ok, so I know after research I want to swap a 700r4 into my m1008. I have read many threads on it and the process, the bracket, etc. I ran across an ad for a pull out tranny supposedly rebuilt 1k miles ago with new torque converter out of a 94 6.5l diesel. Guy says it won't shift out of first and it's a solenoid. I can clearly see in pics it is stamped K. I can't see if the TV bracket is on it still but for the price asked its a non issue. So my question, there appears to be a spacer like bracket on the tail shaft end, does that mean its a 2wd version? A
Also, is the 94 model (I presume still 700r4) K mark still compatible with the m1008? And is the solenoid explanation legit in your experience, is it a scam, and what is the cost of the parts and extent of the fix? Thanks guys.

If the transmission is a 94, then it is a 4L60e or a 4L80e and is alot harder ($$$) to install because they require electronic controllers.

Can you see the shape of the bottom pan?

If the spacer/adapter on the back looks kind of like a cone it's probably the tail shaft bell for a 2WD. If it's short and flat on the back about the same diameter from start to finish, it's probably a transfer case adapter.. But, as Warthog said, being a '94, it is electronically controlled, so a bad solenoid could be possible. I would look for either a standard 4L60 (Note NO "e" on the end, YES, they did make such an animal) or an actual 700R4

Perfect that's what I was wondering. It does look to be a 4x4 model but being electronic I thought I read something about someone putting either a manual or vacuum valve body onto one, but I could be thinking of another swap. I can't see the pan in the pics. I would just start looking for another but for 100 bucks it might be worth the trouble.

If you are going to go to the expense/trouble of getting the electronic controller or going to full manual valve body, then do it with a 4l80e. The nice thing about the 700r4/4L60(not 'e') is that it is a very straight forward swap.
