since im looking to find a t5 for cheap and there are NO mustangs up here there are a handfull of 2wd rangers would their 5 speed work in our cars?
probably not for long, especially with the hell you'll put it through
No
thats what i thought. just a guess that i didnt see in the search
what would be the best tranny behind my 302 other than a 5.0 mustangs tranny? there are NO 5.0 stangs just 2.3's
Without plunking down some coin...just keep looking for a T-5.
You can make the 2.3 ones work and, while not ideal, they will get the car moving.
i thought the ranger manual trannies depending on what drive(2wd,4x4)were made by mitsubish or mazda?
They are...it's Mazda M5, basically a (somewhat) lighter-duty version found in the half-ton trucks with the 300" 6-banger and the 5.0.
ALL 5.8 1/2 ton trucks came factory with an auto trans.
The M5 also came in the SuperCoupes and SC XR7's.
Theoretically, you *could* use one, but I wouldn't know what it'd take to run it.
not being ideal and having the car move, is better than a AOD that slips.
Well, my idea is, if the M5R2 can take 330lb-ft from a 3.8SC, it can take a decent 5.0 or 2.3t.
Isn't the M5R2 (SC) trany a different length than the T5, ie longer? I know people who want to put a Mustang T5 in their SCs but the trans is too short.
The trans length has nothing to do with it on the MN-12's. The shifter is too far forward..
Ah I knew it was one of the two ;)
I'd keep looking for a stang T-5. I have a flywheel/clutch setup/bellhousing for a 5.0 T-5, just no tranny anymore. Yes Chuck, I actually found the bellhousing and flywheel I told you about last year. It was hiding in the attic of the garage. :hick:
im gonna use a 2.3l mustang 5speed for now.. with a 90 probe throwout bearing
