I am looking for a donor and found a 89 F150 with a efi 300 and a 5 speed stick. The door plate shows it as a type "M". A search of this forum showed that type M is a M5OD transmission.
Is this the Mazda 5 speed? They seem to have a poor reputation, are they a useful transmission? I do not want to do the work transplanting this engine and tranny if they will not stand up to towing and general use.
Does anyone know of a website that talks about the care and feeding of this transmission?
