Hello All!
First off, if this is covered already my apologies, please move to correct location or delete and point me to the pre-existing article / forum.
As I continue research for my 2wd to 4wd swap I realized I need more info about my transmission and transmission tail housing. I have a 2002 Mazda B4000 (Ranger 4.0 V6) manual transmission. Looking in the tech articles: https://www.therangerstation.com/tech/ford-ranger-manual-transmissions/ it appears I have the Mazda M50D-R1HD transmission. In the 2wd variant the current tail (extension) housing will not allow for a transfer case and need to source a 4wd tail housing. I have the following questions.
1. Can anyone confirm the Mazda M50D-R1HD is the correct transmission in my truck?
2. If so, does anyone know what is the part number to 4wd tail housing? Or have a place I can reference? Google has not been my friend.
3. By chance, is the tail housing the same for the auto transmission as the manual transmission?
Thanks in advance for any info on this.
Very Respectfully,
Jim
