what is the last year they offerd the Twin stick and what was it offerd on like Fx4 or LII im not sure. thanks

 

02-03 only with manual transmission. To get more specific...02 Fx4 w/ manual and 03 Fx4 Level II with manual got the manual transfer case. Older gen trucks got them, but they have the 1350 tcase compared to the 1354 tcse in the newer trucks. Was only offered on manual transmission equipped trucks.

BUT..to answer your question: '03 Fx4 Level 2 w/ manual transmission.

 

since my Mazda is an fx4 equivalent did any manual b4000 from 02-03 have twin sticks?

 

I thought they had a twin stick in 04-05 wow i guess i was wrong. lol thank you

 

I am unaware of any FX4 equivilent in Mazda form....I highly doubt it.


I'm sure there was a mid 90's twin stick Maz though.

 

04+ did however still have the special Fx4 chrome shifter arm if equipped with a manual.

 

04+ had an electric transfer case, and a manual transmission

 

well im thinking about getting a newer truck than what i have and was woundering if i should try and get an 03 twin stick just because i like it. Is there any draw back to it or advantage thanks. Also what would you sugest.

 

Well if you get a twin stick you don't have to wait for 4wd low and you don't have to worry about the shift motor dying. You will have to deal with a crappy manual transmission.

 

This is the case for all manual equipped Rangers...



Christian....have you had to replace your transmission yet? If not, STFU.

 

No but it is going. Gear changes aren't so smooth. And no I won't STFU because a good truck wouldn't need the tranny out once a year.

 

The tranny don't make the truck in my eyes. Mine still works fine. So what if it shifts a little nothcy it's a truck.

 

Certain trucks 93-97 had twin stick with a M1354.

 

You won't be able to do a body lift on a twin stick without modifying the transfer case shifter.

 

and floor pan it hits on the T-case level even if extended

 

Mine doesn't

 

Odd the 2 we lifted it hit in 4 low i believe it was.. just had to notch out like 1/4"

 

razor's doesnt hit the floorpan b/c he did custom twin stick if i'm not mistaken...

 

good point if he cut his pan instead of using the stock already cut pan

 

I have the stock fx4 lvl II pan from Bob's truck. Uncut.

 

interesting... interesting indeedy

 

whats wrong with the manual trany

 

mazda piece of junk with french parts. lol.

 

The Mazda transmission is just fine. It may not be the best transmission but will hold up as well as most. The slave cylinder is what is problematic. I hope someone comes up with a better one by the time I need a new clutch.

 

yea. im curious why everyone says the manual tranny sucks. i replaced my clutch/slave cyclinder/throwout bearing at like 90k miles ( pretty normal) and i love it
