Definitely. For funsies check Craigslist and look for first gen Explorers (91-94). Almost every one in my area with an auto has a rebuilt tranny, a dead tranny, or one that's going out.Manual. The autos for the most part are much less reliable.
I got a 92 ranger with the 2.9. Its auto right now...and sitting in my backyard because the a4ld in it is junk. How hard was it for you to swap your 4x4 ranger from auto to manual? I just wanna make sure I have a good idea of what would be in store if I did this swapJust converted my auto ranger to manual. the truck has more low end acceleration, pulls steep hills easier, and is much more enjoyable to drive. IF I ever buy another ranger it will be manual.
