Nope. Similar name, entirely different transmissions. Almost nothing swaps (I say almost because I do believe a lot of the Mazda transmissions have similar shift lever assemblies), completely different ratios.Do you want to put a M5OD from a F150 into your Ranger? I've been told they have the EXACT same internals as the Ranger M5OD's - just a bigger housing. Another friend seems to go through 1 every year in his F150. I'm pretty sure 36's and 3.55 gears play a strong part in that too though!
Sorry, I didn't mean the ratios or length of shafts. I had heard that bearings/shafts/gears were the same diameters though? Everything that makes it strong/weak.Nope.

It is kind of a shame nobody makes a housing to mate them to Ranger engines.
All much larger in the R2 version. It's still no ZF or NV series, but it's larger than the R1/Ranger transmission. They won't fit, any way you slice it.Sorry, I didn't mean the ratios or length of shafts. I had heard that bearings/shafts/gears were the same diameters though? Everything that makes it strong/weak.
