Here's the deal:
The tech library says that 1988 & Up 4-Cylinder Rangers and 1991-2000 4.0L Rangers have the same Mazda M50D-R1 Tranny. Obviously the output housing would be different but can a laydude like me swap out the rear housing...will it all mount up etc?
My 91 4x4 needs a tranny, my 88 ranger 2x4 has a good one sitting there. Strength is the least of my worries - I don't do anything major at all with this truck. 4x4 only gives me traction in the crazy Canadian winters and that's about it.
Your thoughts appreciated;
