I have a 2000 Ford Ranger 4x4 that I just swapped a Cummins 4bt into. The 4bt has the Ford-Cummins flywheel and bellhousing adapter to run with a small block ford transmission. I'm using an M5ODR2 transmission from a 2000 F150 and a clutch kit from a 1996 F150 that had the 5.0.
I can get the transmission on to within about an inch of the engine but it stops because the slave cylinder is right up against the pressure plate forks. Now I could try snugging it up with some bolts to force it on, but I don't know if it should be done this way, or if maybe I have some of the wrong clutch components.
Are there any major differences between the small block f150 clutches over the years from 1988 - present? I thought they were pretty much unchanged for all that time. I've noticed that there are clutch kits specifically for f150s for the year ranges 1988-1992 and 1993-1996. I'm wondering what the differences are and if maybe I screwed up by getting the wrong era clutch.
Also as far as I know the only differences between the older and newer M5OD transmissions is the location of the shifter.
