I've got a 96 ranger 3.0 with a bad trans and I have a 00 ranger 3.0 trans that was pulled from a running truck for a v8 swap. The transmissions are identical electronically except for the 00 missing the speed sensor. There are tons of differences mechanically (brass bushings swapped over to needle bearings mostly) but all is very similar.
I've broken down both transmissions to find the only difference in the output shaft is of course the gear for the speedo and the older shaft has 3 lubrication holes drilled in it where my 00 shaft does not have any. My plan is to do a light rebuild on the 00 and swap output shafts. Will the holes in the shaft cause any issue?
