never heard of a "d50" transmission, are you sure it's not an FM145, FM146, FM132, TK5, or M5OD?

yes thats what the shop said, i still think it has the mazda m50d in it.. but AMMCO sd its that 50d.. check this out: http://www.motivegear.com/tech_info/tranny_guide/tranny_guide.html

Now i have another question:: what would be best to replace it with a FM146, a M50D, or this same type?? 50D?? I found this on A1 parts: http://www.a1partsdepot.com/1988-FORD--RANGER-Transmission-P340765.aspx

Find a new transmission shop, no such thing as a D50. Being an 88, it's either an FM146 or a M5OD.

The M5OD is the best tranny ever put in a RBV.
