Deuche bag just tell him the R1 is the V6 mazda and the R2 is the V8 one.
The Ford V6 and V8 don't share the same bellhousing pattern like GM or Dodge

...so when everyone mentions using an m5od on a 302 they are talkin about the r2 then, right?

Exactly, the R1 is for the V6 the R2 is for the V8s. Drop by a F-150 forum they will talk about the M5OD and they mean the R2, Ranger forums it means the R1.

Not my first choice either. I've seen way too many of them scatter under bone stock fullsizes with 302s and 33 inch tires. Personally I'm not using manual transmissions after the ZF. For my high powered stuff it will be a C6 and mark my words, the AOD will be the next big trans in demand like how people go crazy about a 700R4.
