OK, I did my engine swap, 302 and M5R2 last spring. Been driving it this winter with a few bugs to be worked on, mainly carburetion. My tranny went out in a grinding flash last night just as I got home. Started it up this morning and it was worse than expected. In short, I need another trans. I used a 01 f150 V-6 M5R2, as shown in my build. I didn't have a speedo cable because I had to take what I could get in a trans to get on the road again.
Does anyone know if all the R2s are the same physically. I know I can use a 97-98 since they still had the speedo cable in the extension housing. Will earlier models work? Which years will bolt to the 302? The reason I ask is that I can't find a 97-98 around here at all and it's cheaper to buy a good used trans than rebuild this one. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you
