Manual shifter rebuild kit

[Jaelaw89]

Ok guys help me out. I ordered a kit online to replace my shifter on my 89 ranger. It’s got what I thought was the manual m5r1/m5od (not sure on the difference) transmission. However this kit doesn’t match the parts. I have included a photo of what I have and what I got. Any clues on what I did wrong here?

That’s not a M5OD.

That’s not a M5OD.

Alright. That’s a start. Is it a fm146? I think that’s the Mitsubishi

Also is there something on the transmission that identifies it?

Of the top of my head, Mitsu's usually have an ID plate on the driver's side of the case, removable bottom plate, door sticker code. Look here:

Best way to ID is here: Manual Transmissions

Most likely a FM146. Other were only in early models.

Ninja’d by a hour and a half?

Thanks guys. Based on what you guys gave me. I identify this as a fm132. Does that sound/seem correct

If it's 2WD, yes. There should be (or was) a data sticker on the side like this:

If only they were all that easy.

definitely not 2wd. However it’s got the same housing for the shifter. It’s the only one I saw with the four bolt shifter housing. Is it possible that when whoever swapped this motor out they did the engine and transmission and just mounted their old transfer case on the back?

4WD would make it an FM146. On a 31 year old truck, it's entirely possible that it could have been swapped in, but it is a proper transmission for that year truck.
