Hope that everyone is having a great Friday! Now for my issue...

I know that it's not an Explorer but I have a 1992 Ranger XLT 4x4 w/ a M5OD-R1 5-speed and it will not stay in 5th gear. The transmission does not make any abnormal noises and operates fine with the exeption of when it is shifted into overdrive (...at any speed) it will slip out of gear.

What is generally needed to correct this problem?

I am able to get my hands on a 2003 M5OD-R1HD with low mileage. Are these late model transmissions a direct swap?


Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 






I believe you have some bearings or bushings wore out in your tranny. Or there is a bent shift fork. I have seam this on older vehicles and the cure is another tranny or some know how in replacing the worn parts.
 






a jeep that my parents owned would slip out of reverse and it had a bevel on some of the gears and would slip out also they had problem with retainers shearing and the gear pushing out of reverse.
