Few questions before i put trans in

[The_Dealer]

heres my free m5od trans i got off a buddy. its 2wd and im gonna have to put it in like that until i find a 4wd tailshaft or 4wd m5od, not the ideal thing to do but since i have to buy a clutch and all that and this is my dd i gotta get this going. the a4ld dumped on me, and i definately aint putting another back in

will my speedo and gear assembly bolt into here? if not what can i put in there to seal the hole so fluid dont spit out. it looks like i can unbolt the vss looking thing and put my speedo gear in, but im not sure if the tailshaft has something to drive the gear

also what is this plastic broken piece in the shifter hole, and where can i get a new one?

when i put the shifter on and moved it around it didnt seem to have any play in it, but looks like some kinda stabilizing bushing

nobody? i finally figured out what the plastic was in the shifter, and i know what will fix it, and took the vss off and there is a gear in there, so question is puttin my speedo gear in there, will it work or mess something up?

so the m5od will bolt up to the 2.8?

so the m5od will bolt up to the 2.8?

why wouldn't it?

it's a cologne engine, they all have the same bolt pattern.

Yea it will bolt up just fine. Most use the 4.0 trans, but the 3.0 won't work due to a bellhousing difference. The 2wd one is just to get me back on the road since it was free and I had to buy clutch snd stuff.I found a place selln 4wd ones for 300. So in the sprinhg I'm selln the 2wd and gettn a 4wd one. U can use 2.8 clutch and flywheel or four oh clutch flywheel and starter
