Hi all,
Thank god this forum exits. I have a 1994 Mazda B3000 2WD with a possibly busted M5OD-R1 trans.
I'm looking to replace the transmission and before I take the plunge, I'd like confirmation on which options I can pursue and that I have the correct scope of work.
Option A) Replace with identical M5OD-R1 from any 91-94 2wd 3.0L Ranger/B3000. This would be a simple bolt-in job.
Option B) Replace with an M5OD-R1 from a 95-97 2wd 3.0L Ranger/B3000. I would have to do something with the speedo correct? Could I use the system on my current transmission to replace the VSS sensor set up used on this transmission?
Option c) Replace with an M4OD-R1 from a 98-11 2wd 3.0L Ranger. I would have to swap the tailshaft from my current trans onto the newer box to get my speedo to function.
Thanks all!
