I've just bought my dream truck...a 1985 2wd Ranger w/ 2.3L engine.
It's everything I wanted, short of a manual transmission.
I've performed manual transmission swaps on various vehicles, in the past. So, doing so on this truck, is no stress.
I'm just trying to get an idea for what I'm dealing with/looking for.
The obvious...pedal box, flywheel, clutch & pressure plate.
Will I need to get a different x-member or driveshaft?
Can I reuse my existing speedo cable?
Are these hydraulic or cable clutch systems?
Seems there are three different types of O.E. transmissions...is there an ideal one to find?
