I have heard of using marvel mystery oil. Or even automatic tranny fluid but you have to introduce it directly into the combustion chamber, either by a vacume line or directly into the throttle body. On older carburated cars, you simply removed the air filter and poured it slowly into the...

I live in findlay and have some of the mass air flow cleaning spray from crc i think it is. You are more than welcome to stop by and use some of my can if you want. I dont have an extra MAF laying around, but I do have a transfer case lol

Thanks gents for the input!

I will give that a try. Sounds about right as I noticed the notches in the shift fork rails (i would assume thats what they are called lol). Thanks for the input

I recently bought this transmission out of a 1989 bronco 2 and was going through making sure everything was sealed and in working order when I came across this screw (circled in red). I took it out to reseal it and to my suprise there was a spring underneath it. What is this for? any...

good deal! its nice and some what calming for you im sure to know soon it will be back to whatever is normal lol

I was up at cherry picked parts in toledo and they had a few first gen explorers there headlights, grills, the whole front ends on them were untouched! Mainly the only thing missing from any of the explorers was the manual transmissions, and that is what I was there for lol. It might be worth...

is it a manual transmission? if so i may be interested in the transmission. what part of ohio are you located? it would be worth parting out then junking whatever doesnt sell if you really wanted to make as much money on it you could.

I am in the process of getting an m5od for my explorer and have found a couple in junkyards and also by private sellers. What I would like to know (seeing as I dont know jack about transmissions) what do I look for to avoid a junk transmission? Can I take the top cover off and look inside...

Are the shifters interchangeable between the fm146 and the m5od?

so any year 4.0l m5od will work?

the m5od bellhousings are integrated arent they

I have a 1991 ford explorer sport that has a mitsubishi fm146 manual transmission (yes this is correct, prior owner swapped it out when his m50d grenaded on him) and it has lasted almost 10 years but is ready for a rebuild/replacement. Anyways I found a manual transmission out of a 1996 4wd...

I have 31" on my 91 sport and have very minimal rubbing when I have the steering wheel cranked all the way left or right

I put new shocks on my explorer and it took nearly all of the vibration away!

I recently had a similar issue, though the explorer ran fine, the battery gauge started going crazy all over the place. Changed the negative battery cable (the whole thing from battery to frame, to motor block) and problem was resolved. Check your cables and see if the copper wire in the...

I cant help with the positive cable, but I got away with using a 40 inch negative cable. It could have been 2 inches longer but the next size up was 50 inches. Keep in mind my battery posts are on opposite sides of the battery compared to factory so a 40 inch should be plenty long.

Did you replace your pilot bearing? Even if you did or didnt, it could be seizing up or creating enough drag on your transmission to keep it spinning, making it nearly imposible to get into gear. I have never seen it happen, but i was thinking at work today and if your transmission is in good...

what brand slave cylinder and other clutch hardware did you buy? You need to make sure you have a good bleed on the system. If your positive you have all the air from your lines, then maybe your slave cylinder is faulty or your pressure plate is faulty. With the truck off, put the truck...

I noticed today while driving around town the wobble isnt as bad as I thought, I have to be at 45mph or higher when hitting a bump in the road to cause the wobble. As far as ball joints, the front end of my truck is tight. I am thinking I could use some new shocks though as the rear is...

When you say wobble, do you mean like the tire is out of balance? My explorer does the same thing. The tires have been balanced many times to try and get rid of the wobble. mounted, remounted etc.. still the wobble is present. I bought my explorer from him knowing this. The funny thing...

I just watched some of those videos after reading this post. I was very tempted to pull off my fram oil filter I just put on 100 miles ago and change it over to a Wix filter! I have been a fram man for many years too!

No I dont, but thanks for the info!

I have a 1991 ford explorer and was wondering if the fan clutch for the radiator was electronically controlled. I am kind of guessing it isnt but I am having cooling issues and beleive I have it narrowed down to the fan. Just want to make sure it isnt electronically controlled before I replace...
