There's 2 things your question could mean.

1. Can I put a brand new transmission that is identical to the one I already have in my car?

2. Can I put a transmission from a newer vehicle(that is different from your vehicle's) in my car?

Answer 1. If the transmission you want to put in is the same transmission you are taking out, then yes you should have no problem changing them out.

Answer 2. If the transmission was not made for your car, then you would have to check to see if the bolts mounting the engine and transmission would line up. For example, I took the tranny out of my 88 Ford Bronco and put it in my 92 Ford Ranger. They both had six bolts in the same pattern so they were interchangeable. If the bolts do not line up, the transmission would not fit and would be a waste of your time. But if you can't find how many bolts there are, it would probably be best to take your car to a shop.

Can you put a new automatic transmission in a older car?

So long as the engine bolts up to it and there is enough room there is no reason that a transmission upgrade won't work. There isn't much you can't do to a car if you are willing to throw enough money and time at it. If you mean to ask if it is a good idea to replace a worn out transmission with a new one of the same type, the value and condition of the vehicle is going to make your decision for you. I wouldn't put a new transmission on an old car with 100K+ miles on it. I would consider getting a rebuilt or a salvage transmission with a warranty. I installed a later model used 700R4 automatic transmission into a 1971 Chevy pickup truck with great results. As already stated above, the bolt pattern needs to match between the engine and transmission and the rest you can fabricate. The fuel mileage went from 15 mpg to 19 mpg highway.
