Hey guys! I doing a turbo swap in my 92 3.0 extended cap ranger. The new engine is but i ran into trany problems today. I'm going to have to use the T5 trany out of the Turbo coupe because my 3.0 trany will not line up. I was just wondering if i can still use my old drive shaft? The T5 is only about 1 1/2'' longer then my 3.0 trany. And if i cant use the old drive shaft should i just cheat the motor mounts up a inch or so to make it fit because i really don't want to spend a couple hundred $ to shorten the shaft.

I was also wondering whats the best way to make the clutch work because the T5 is cable operated and the ranger is hydraulic. I have heard of doing a couple of different thing.
 
You are better off getting a 2.3 Ranger transmission.

OR swapping the internals of your 3.0 transmission into a 2.3 case.

If you are willing to try that I have a 2.3 tansmission case available.
