95 trans reverse out 3.0l

[miketreid]

What year transmission will fit this truck, even if I have to change out some electronics or bellhousings. I found a good deal on a 97 trans but need to know if I change out some stuff if it will work.

I just do not want to change anything that requires more than valvebody, electronics, or bellhousing.

Thanks,

Mike

Electronic Speedometer (1995-Up):

In 1995 the Ranger stopped using a mechanical speedometer cable and relied on the VSS in the transmission/transfer case to provide it with a signal for speed.

The 1998-2000 Rangers are not equipped with a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) receives vehicle speed information from the antilock brake system rear wheel speed sensor. The raw signal from the ABS/VSS sensor on the rear axle goes directly to the Explorer 4WABS module where the signal is corrected for tire diameter. Then the corrected signal is sent to the PCM, speed control, cluster, etc. In this system, the PCM is an end user of the corrected VSS signal.

Looks like you are golden if it came out from behind a 3.0.
