So I've been inactive for probably over a year now, the old a4ld ate the dirt and I am just now getting the funds to get a new one after buying a lemmon last fall. Also am VERY tired of driving my primer grey camry/terd.
I am hoping to swap it over to a manual and am going scrapyard hunting in the morning.
From what I have gathered my best bet is to find an M50D which can be found behind '88 and up rangers?
Also an HD model is somehwat better and is in '97-'02 Explorers/Rangers '01 and up?
I need a 4x4 version so yeah....one can always hope
It will probably be easier to find the FM145/6 trannies but I need the 146 because the 145 is a hair shorter correct? I believe the 146 can be found in '88 and up 2.9L rangers?
With a little wiring and tuning work I should not need to swap out the ECM?
Also plan on pulling clutch stuff, slave, pedal brackets, flywheel, and other goodies.
Mainly looking for confirmation/correction on the info I've gathered, looking foreword to re-joining the ranger ranks
