Yes it will bolt up but the 95+ transmissions won't have a spot to mount your speedometer cable drive gear and VSS/OSS, whichever it is called.

Like Earl said, it will mount up, the bellhousing patterns are the same. I know 95+ Rangers and Explorers have an electronic speedometer, I think the input is from the ABS sensors (I'm told this is how my '99 Explorer is) or from a sensor in the rear differential. This wouldn't allow you an input for the speedo. They started using the M50D-R1 (the transmission I believe you have) in '88 so I think you could take one from anything from '88 to '94 and it would work.
