Mazda M5OD Trans applications.

I'm wondering how many different vehicles were using the M5OD ? especially in combination with the 2.3 litre 4 cylinder. I'm looking into converting the ranger pickup to a cable type clutch set up.

I'll dig this one out although it will probably be useless now...

It was used in the Rangers and Bronco II. I think the exploders used it too.

There was also a beefed up version used in the full size trucks, broncos, and vans.

Maybe the Thunderbird Turbo Coupes? I don't know but my 86 had a nice little 5 speed that took Mercon.

I could be way wrong here.

Turbocoupes, Mustangs, and Cougars all had Borg Warner T-series transmissions. T-5's or T-4's.

The turbo coupe did have the 2.3 Pinto four banger if that helps. So since it sounds like it isn't an M5OD, it still bolts up to the mid 80s 4 banger.

Good Luck,

The 2.0 and 2.3 featured in the trucks, Mustangs, and TC's were different motors than the Pinto's. The pinto's were 2.3's, but they were a different configuration.

Way back when I owned the 86 Turbo Coupe, I had read that it was essentially a Pinto engine beefed up a bit and having a turbo, it sure looked like a Pinto engine but prettier. That is why I said Pinto 4 banger.

Is the Bell housing and clutch set up different from the TC to the truck engine? That's probably what this guy really needs to know and I definitely don't know the answer.
