4spd manual to 5spd manual

[I'm Back]

hey
sorry i haven't been on here for a long long time so all my lingo is gone
anyways im back in to the ranger game, i just bought a 83 ranger 4x4 with the 2.3L(love those little engines) with the 4 spd manual trans but reverse is gone in it
well i've got sitting at home a 5sp manual trans that came out of an 89 4x4 ranger with the 2.3L
I was wondering what it would take to swap the two?
im hopeing they just bolt right up, thanks

I would say that they should... but the clutch sysems may be different. I believe you have a TK4 and the trans you want to swap in is probably a FM 16_ something or like an M5OD... I think the 2.3L would have the same bolt pattern. Where do you live? I have a TK5 from a 2wd 84 all you need to do is swap bell housings.

im from Victoria, on Vancouver island
yeah i was hopeing it would just bolt up, i need to get the 5spd rebuilt( i think its the M50D) aswell, but i'de rather rebuild it and put it in rather then the 4 spd

it should bolt up i think your current 4spd will have a external slave cylinder but the quick disonect should plug right in to the internal slave on the newer 5spd. if im wrong someone will correct me, i dont think rangers had a mechanical cluth linkage

I think rangers only came with hydralic clutches, except his is an external and the other is an internal. A TK 5 is a 5speed trans which will bolt right up clutch line and all.

ok, so it will bolt up but the clutch assembley will be wrong
im just trying to work with what i got, so is it possible to swap the clutch assembly to the newer one because im sure i have it still too

 

[Dusty_Ranger]

the newer trans has a internal slave but your lines should just hook up fine

check the bolt pattern on the bellhousings, I think they will interchange. I myself like the earlier external slaves.

clutches are mostly the same.
