I have a 95 ranger supercab 2wd 3.0L (for now) with 5 speed m5r2 trans. Prior to 98 supercabs come with a 2 piece driveshaft and mine has been a paid in my wallet si ce I bought it a few years back. It's ate thru 3 carrier support bearings somehow, nothing else to point me to an issue causing bearing failure. Not sure when or how this happened but I started hearing a thumping sound on bottom of cab where the bearing is. Turns out the cross mount the bearing bolts to was bent up into the cab. I've been wanting swap the 2 piece for a one piece since I found out it wasn't a one piece and with the support bent, I cut the crossmember out, bought a one piece aluminum driveshaft out of a 99 ranger supercab and was supposed to have had a m5r2 trans. Actually it had an automatic trans. The one piece is a 4" Dia aluminum so the yoke of my steel 2 piece is to small. I have been scouring the internet for weeks now trying to find a yoke and I'm having literally zero luck. They don't manufacture yokes for the m5r2s anymore from what I've read. Can't find any at salvage or junkyard local to me... Is there an alternate trans yoke that will work with my m5r2 and aluminum shaft? I've completely hit a wall
 
Thank you for this link! I've been trying to find one like this for weeks but that has everything I've been trying to find individually. The only driveline work I've ever done is carrier bearing, u joints, that's it. I have rebuild engines in past but I've gotten luck and never had to work on transmission or any related components. I just replaced the entire clutch system prior to this current problem I'm dealing with. Thanks again, guess I've got a lot of reading to do when I get off tonight, and you are right about me having a m05r1
 
You may have better results calling it an M5OD-R1 when searching for parts and info.

Probably stands for; Manual, 5speed, Overdrive, Revision 1
