Got my M5R1 tranny and BW1350 tcase ready to install in my 87 Ranger SuperCab with 2.9 and 60/40 split bench. Went to wreckers yesterday and they have a bunch of sticks and boots (all missing the pinch bolt! dipsh!ts) and none appear to be a 4x4 version with manual tcase, as the boot is just a single boot, no plate, double boot, etc. Been lookin at pick n pulls, but no manuals with this tranny...all already pulled by some other lucky bastid....lol...and I'm running out of daylight and warm weather. All the shifters they had were either not labelled, or labeled 1999 or newer. The unlabeled ones looked very similiar. Some were really long, almost twice the length of the one that was labelled 1999 Ranger 4.0 (from an Aerostar?) Some had a slightly different angle on the mount boss too.
What is the best stick shift (the actual shifter), boots, mounting plate etc. for M5R1 into 87 Ranger 2.9?
