TR-6060 six speed swap behind 4.0 OHV

Edited my original post , as I had incorrect info and I didn't want folks getting wrong info

Looking at swapping in a TR-6060 6 speed trans into my 1991 ford ranger 4.0 OHV / 5spd manual / 2WD truck

My truck sports a 4.0 OHV V6 with the Mazda 5 spd , M50D-R1.... just thought id add the fact that this truck is currently a manual trans vehicle....

Heres my thought add some 3:73 gears and 28" tall tires (275/60/15) on the rear. I figure the gear, tire height , and six speed overdrive trans ought to provide fun stop and go performance while improving around town and highway mpg while offering quicker , smoother shifting ability..... not to mention the tr-6060 is way stronger than the mazda 5 speed.

Better check again on what that trans is in the Mustang, stock should have been the TR-3650 five speed. Only the GT-500's got the TR-6060 and that was later.

OOOOh crap......I must have got excited and mistaken 4.0 with 4.6 mustangs.... I see they do make an adapter plate kit to put the TR-6060 behind a 4.0 ... thanks for pointing out my my error in info.... corrections made as not to mislead others....
