i have only ever seen one in my entire life...and it was a custom jobber the truck originally was a 5.4 auto but the truck had a 5 speed mounted to it....not sure which transmission...but i know it was not the stock Mazda M50D.
I have a reg cab 5 speed 4x4 with the 4.6. The tranny has served me well and the clutch is still original. It may not have what respect from some but from personal use for 11+years its never been wrenched on. It has over 283,000 miles on it. The battery, alt, all oem. Its an exceptional truck. I can still smoke up the tires up through 2nd gear and get a nice cherp in 3rd.
