Hey there, I just found a wrecked Bronco ll that has a Toyo Koygo 5 Speed in it and I was wanting to know if it was difficult and required any other parts for me to put it in my 83' Ranger 4x4 2.3L that has a TK4. My trans shifts buttery smooth but going 55-60MPH right around 3000RPM give or take is not ok for me.
I'm active duty military and currently stationed in Norfolk. While I am in, I'm gonna be making trips back home for the holidays/vaction every year in East Tennessee which is about a 9-10 hour drive from here and I'm just wanting to highway cruise better, get better fuel economy, and avoid wear and tear on my engine. I drove from San Diego to Norfolk in this truck and it was unbearably slow, averaging 55-60 on the interstate.
But the biggest question I have is can I buy this trans, rebuild it if needed, and stick it in my truck without having to buy a different front or rear driveshaft? Basically a plug in and play? (Note I'd be replacing the clutch, throw out bearing, rear main seal, etc while I'm under there.)
