I was a little bit disappointed in you September issue.As a Ranger enthusiast, I just wanted to let you know that in th " The Beater Files" you stated that the M5OD manual transmission is especially the weak link of the Ranger. I want to let you know that the weakest transmission of the Rangers and Bronco II's are the automatics, specifically the A4LD that came in Rangers and Bronco II's from 1985 to 1994. I'm not only citing this from personal expierience, but the forums at the most popular Ranger enthusiast site(therangerstation.com) will confirm this. That's kinda like saying that of all the stock Jeep rear axles, the Dana 35 is particularly the strongest. Don't get me wrong- I love your magazine, and I always learn something new when i read your magazine, so I just want to get that out there. Needless to say, I am going to start collecting parts for my M5OD swap as soon as my 5R55E goes out. It's starting to slip.
