According to the tech section of this website my 2005 Ranger 3.0 (definitely a 3.0 V-6) has a 5R44E transmission. Transmission code D. The inside door panel shows a TRN code of D so I assumed tech section was correct. I bought this truck when it was a little over a year old with 20k miles on it so I'm sure it's the original transmission. The tech section shows the transmission pan having 16 bolts. I ordered a transmission pan gasket and transmission filter for a 2005 Ford Ranger 3.0 4x2 and received a pan gasket that has 18 bolt holes. ?? I accused the sender of sending me the wrong gasket and who knows if the transmission filter is the right one since the gasket was wrong according to tech. I climbed up underneath the truck and counted the bolts in the transmission pan and yes indeed it does have 18 bolts. Open mouth and insert foot. What's up with this?? Is tech wrong? The MFR date on this truck is 12/04 but it's titled as a 2005 and 2005 parts have always worked.
