5spd manual tran.
I have a 5spd out of a 98 f-150, it has the internal hyd. throw out bearing. I would like to change it to a external slave cyl. type throw out bearing. Has anyone done this? would like to heir how it came out.

Having stalked the trans forum since the day I joined, I can tell you with some certainty this has not come up. If you can weld aluminum and are good at fabrication and don't mind having a "one of a kind", you can probably make one work.
Easier to put a juice set up in imo........ but I ain't doin' the work now am I...
The 460 and oil burner ZF's have the cylinder outside the bell with a regular type fork, but I'm pretty sure you are working on a Mazda box there.

Might just be better off either getting a different transmission or staying with the Mazda M5R2. A small block ZF5 with the modular engine bell housing might be a good choice, can't recall if that one is internal or external.
