The only reason I say this is because I broke my mainshaft 5th gear in 3 pieces (don’t go into O/D in low range stupid) and the cheap bastard I am, I got a Ranger tranny cheap and the mount don’t line up so the transfer case will be in a different place. I ended up using the tranny just used the 5th gear out of it.

ranger trannys are the same
