Has any one ran a fm146 behind a 4.0? The reason i ask is because im sick of not being able to drive my ranger. I need a new input shaft for my m5od, and money is tight right now, so i thought about using the fm 146 for a little while till i can save up enough for my input shaft. What do you guys think?

Oh yeah, if any one knows where to find a input shaft for a 2.9 m50d let me know.

probably cheaper to get a junkyard tranny

well, thats where the m5od im rebuilding came from. They don't have anything that hasn't had the piss beat outta it.

as long as you drive it like a 2.9 it should hold out for a little while. maybe tape a block of wood under the gas pedal to keep yourself from romping on it :icon_thumby:

I plan on doing that until I can get my M50D... I'm hoping it lasts a couple weeks or so, lol..

Haha, i like the block of wood idea Wicked! Yeah hopefully it will last a little while.
What starter do i use with the fm146? And has any one actually done this?

Use all the 4.0 components (starter, flywheel, clutch, etc.) and.................cross your fingers
