Guy's need some help. I have a Ranger 94 4X4
I get a C5 from a 83 BroncoII 4x4 and want to swap my manual transmission to a C5,
Did some one knows what do I need to change?
Beside transmission, of course
 
Make sure you get the flexplate and torque converter off the c5.
If I remember right, I had to get a new starter for an auto trans.
I believe there were some mods to the crossmember to get it to work.
You'll have to figure out some type of shifter - I used a cable shift B&M, which works well.
It's been awhile since I did the swap, so I'm not sure what had to be done for wiring - I'll have to go through some old threads to remember what I did there.
There will be driveshaft mods - the c5 is actually shorter than the m50d I took out, but I did mine with a doubler swap, which came out to be slightly longer.
You will get a very high stall speed out of the c5 torque convertor - like almost 3000, which takes some getting used to- especially on the highway with no overdrive, but you'll have a hard time finding an aftermarket torque convertor.
 
oh, and you'll have to figure out some sort of neutral safety bypass, you can just jumper it to bypass, but I dont recommend - I ran two wires from the plug under the dash to the B&M shifter to make the neutral safety switch work so I didnt run anyone over if I ever left it in gear and tried to start it. There are also a couple wires in that plug to bypass to get the cruise control working.
There are threads on the wiring - if you cant find it here, try explorerforum
