I've got a 91 ranger with a transmission that the previous owners hacked up in order to make it fit. The engine is a 2.3L 4cyl and the transmission number that the Ford dealership told me the truck shipped with is f07a-hb which I've determined is a Mazda m5r1 5 speed manual. I've found an f27a-ua for sale and I'm wondering if it will work (also an m5r1 but with a different tooth count on 5th gear and reverse synchro). The current trans is an e87a-eg which is ALSO an m5r1 with a different 5th and reverse tooth count. Wouldn't be so worried about this but the current trans is the same type as the one I'm looking at and I'd like to be 100% sure before I get it.
Edit: Here's a pic of the modifications the previous owners did. This is at the connection for the slave cylinder. Put the truck in all 5 gears and it turned the motor so I'm going to say the trans is still good.
