I have the above truck but the tranny does not look like the ones we found online how would I figure out what it has without being able to find name plate. Everyone keeps saying the shifter forks and to find some oval inspection plats but I cannot find the inspection plates any tips or hints helpful would be apprecaited.

probably bent forks just replace tranny and clutch assembly and rear main seal...

inspection plate is probably on the top you could remove shifter and cover and lower rear tranny cross member remove bolts on inspec cover on tranny.. also you might be able to get it out of second by tapping fork... it will get stuck again though...


this would be what i would do with my 4.0l 94 ranger 4x4

If you post a pic of the bottom of the trans I can probably ID it for you easy enough.

It's either an FM146 or an M5OD, unless someone put something that shouldn't be there in it.


Either way, it does kinda sound like a shift fork issue, so the trans will have to come out.
