Good morning,

Will it fit? Yes. Will it work, no?

The 1997 is OBD controlled by electronics. The 1992 has OBD1 technology and does not have the controls.

You need a transmission from your year truck.

Try this site, www.car-part.com. They have pages of transmissions for you.

Physically it would fit, however it would not actually operate as the Dakota wouldn't have the electronics needed to make it function properly.
