- 1991 explorer sport
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 ranger with a 2.3 motor and was trying to make sure it is completely swappable.
From what I have read it is an m5od transmission but will comfirm when I go look at it.
I know the fm146 and m50d are swappable but is the bellhousing from a 2.3 m5od the same as the bellhousing from a 4.0l m5od?
I am pretty sure the transfer cases are swapable and the lengths of the transmission are the same minus shifter location.
Any input is appreciated,
Thanks
