trans gears

[mike cliff]

hello every one.
can you take the four banger gears from the 5 speed ranger and put in a 3.0 trans? my plan was to lower the gears in tran to make up diffs for tire size.. right now my trucks gort 4.10 and 33s it feels stock. i wnna go 35 s and change out tran gears. will this work? thanks mike

The 2.3 and 3.0 have the same gear ratios in the tranny. You would be wasting your time. You basically have no other option except to either regear or use a different engine/tranny combo.
