Transmission swap

Post by worth165 »

I am wondering what I need to put a newer ranger 4.0 litre manual trans in my 87 2.9 litre manual trans bronco2. I heard that 96 and oldern trans will have same bolt pattern. But what about slave, clutch, flywheel, master cylinder, transfer case,and starter? Any Ideas?

Basically, whatever donor you find, grab everything from the clutch master down. You con put a 4.0 flywheel/clutch/trans behind a 2.8/2.9. The 4.0 uses a 10" clutch, so it'd actually an upgrade for the small motors. You need alll 4.0 stuff. All you can use is your master. You'll need new driveshafts too, casue the M5OD is longer than the FM145 that's in you truck now.
