Edit: This has been confirmed to be a Lima 4-cylinder transmission.
I do not know if these are from a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder truck, maybe someone else can tell from the tags.
I have a clean trans, transfer case, and front driveshaft from a 1995 RBV. I was told that these came from a wrecked truck that only had ~60k miles, but I do not have any proof of that. I suspect that these came out of a 4-cylinder truck, as that is what the engine was from.
Both shifters are tight, no sign of leaks.
Located in Helena, MT.
$600 $500 $400 obo for the entire package.
PM offers, feel free to post questions or comments.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
A few more pictures, especially showing the open end of the bellhousing may help someone identify it. There may be an article in our tech library with helpful info. Since the M5OD had different bellhousing bolt patterns for the different engines, it is important to figure out what engine it came from.

I am super interested! I need a transmission for my 87 ranger. And a rear drive line from a two piece.

I will try and get a picture of the bellhousing this afternoon. It was in the negative temps over the last few days, so I was feeling less than motivated to venture out to my unheated shed.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
looks like a lima to me. the bolt holes are wider than the cologne.

I would consider partial trades for good condition bucket seats and regular cab seat brackets.
