I thought I'd read somewhere that the 5 spd Mazda trans would fit my 93 Ranger 2.3 up thru 97, but the only thing I've found in several weeks of lookin within a couple hundred mile radius of Vegas is supposedly out of a 99 with a 2.3 (I think it should read 2.5? - anyway)
I'm going to ask them to let me pull the drain plug to see what is or is not on it in the way of debris and take a small sample of the oil to check for glitter.
Knowing there's a lot of variables, but just as a general rule of thumb for a normally driven & maintained vehicle, what would be worth taking a chance on as far as miles goes on a trans - if the drain plug magnet & the oil looked decent.
It's out of a salvage yard and they're asking $500.
Thx
