i took the 4r55e out of my 96 2wd 4.0 explorer today and i see no point in putting that transmission back in, i know about the Advanced adapters conversion being made utilizing the 700r4, all of that will cost too much money for me and i dont have that much time because my explorer is my daily driver, i want to put a 5 speed manual in as a replacement. I was thinking about using a ranger or Bronco II transmission with the brake/clutch pedal assembly, master cylinder, slave cylinder...ect. seriously doubt that any of the salvage yards around me will have a 5 spd explorer with all the parts i need. does any one know if the ranger or bronco II parts will fit my explorer, and how strong is the manual 5 speeds that were offered in the rangers/BII's? I am also scared to mes with the computers, i know that the computer will have to be swapped with a 5 speed 4.0 ohv computer, but just i was just wanting to know more on how to change all the wiring and harness and things, any help would be greatly appeciated. thanks.
