You can use most of the 46 internals in the 518, clutches and so forth. The one the 46 probly dont have is the steel front carrier. You will need to find any four speed auto 4x4 overdrive assembly that used a governor, jeep cherokees got the re in 95, everything else went re in 96 (the re trannies dont have a hydraulic governor). Even an a500 OD unit will work for you, swap in the OD internals from the 2 wheel drive 518. If the 46re is lockup use the input shaft and reaction shaft support, and buy a 47rh valve body and make the 518 a lockup.
