Transmission Compatibility
Just wondering what my manual options are for my ranger. 02 3.0 2wd.
I was looking just the plain old M5R1 out of a 3.0. What years can I take from? I see a bunch on ebay like 88-98 or 90-94. Are they all the same? I'm assuming nothing has changed.
What about clutch options? I tow quite often, so I dont' want the clutch to be the weak point.

Thanks. What years can I use? They all seem to be the same (meaning about 98 and up) but when I go to search for a flywheel or other parts it's coming up as a different section for 01-08 for the 3.0 manual

when you say "towing" and "clutch" in the same sentence it makes me cringe!
you will loose towing capacity with a manual trans. plus they suck to drive with any trailer.
i think you'd be better off finding a 5R55E and swapping your 3.0 bell housing to it. this is a much stronger transmission then your 5R44E.
you may also look into a shop that does fleet rebuilds, they will know how to make your transmission last more then a year.
