The FM-145 in my stepside truck suffered from massive leakage at the shifter housing when I got it... because all the bolts had backed out about 1/4"
Personally I like the lower 1-2-3 gear ratios in the FM transmissions... the 4 cylinder and 2.9 M5ODs are just about the same and just where I like them. I'm looking forward to building one for use in my Explorer, I'm not real fond of how high those three gears are in the 4.0 transmissions.
