I have a '91 EB 4x4 5speed and mt transmission is starting to go.
I am looking for rebuilt transmissions and I am finding that I can get the M5OD-R1HD (From 2001+ Ranger) for about half of what I would pay for a direct replacement for the M50D-R1 that came stock in my '91 EB.
Is the M5OD-R1HD a direct swap for the M5OD-R1?
I have seen it posted on this forum that the gear ratios are the same, and they seem to look alike, but are there any differences that would make a swap difficult?
