93 Ranger transmission swap?

[rekabnivek]

I have a 93 Ranger w/bad manual trans. The trans number is F27A UA. This t ruck has a 2.3l engine. I have found a good F57A CA out of a 95 Ranger w/3.0l engine. Will it work? Or do I have to change the cases and use my old case. Mine is the typical 3 rubber plugs leaked and ran out of fluid!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the bellhousing bolt pattern is different. only a transmission from behind another 2.3 will bolt up. you COULD swap all the guts over...but thats way more work than its worth IMO.

the same manual trans was behind all '88-01 2.3/2.5's. not too hard to find
