Hey fellas,
Was thinking of swapping an M50DR1 into my '84 2.0 Ranger. It's my understanding that this is a better trans than the Toyo Kogyo 5-speed that originally came with these trucks, and I've got a little horsepower into mine, so I want a trans that's going to stand up to occasional floggings. My question is, will it mount up to my existing trans mount? I can get the driveshaft and clutch linkage from the donor truck, will the master cylinder bolt to my existing pedal assembly or will I have to snag the pedals? Are there any holes to cut?
Sorry to play 20 questions, but when you're planning a swap it helps to educate yourself.
Oh, and it has a toyo Kogyo four-speed in it now.
