After more than 620,000 miles the transmission in my truck is starting to go. I have an 84 4 x 4 V6 with a Toyo Kogyo 5spd. I am having trouble finding a replacement and have a few questions and hoping someone here has the knowledge to help me out. Are all 84-85 Toyo Kogyo 4x4 5spd’s the same? Will a 85 Bronco 5spd work? I found an 85 Ranger gearbox, but the case is slightly different, has a flat deck machined into the top like a plate or a bracket would be bolted to it and the Bell housing/throwout bearing assembly is different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
