Hey, I my brother has a 1995 Ranger Splash (4.0, Manual) and over the past year or so we have been working out all the little kinks to get the car in tip top condition. Since we've owned the car the spacer plate that goes between the engine and transmission is damaged around the starter. The part of the spacer that goes around the starter got ripped off at some point (perhaps during an engine pull?) and we want to replace it because it causes a misalignment with the starter and it makes a pretty awful sound on startup.
I couldn't find the exact replacement but I found one for a 4.0 Explorer (automatic). Would this work for a manual 4.0 too? I think it should work, but I wanted to get some input.
