I did the later and glad I did. Messy job but worth it. The magnet had 2-3 tablespoons of metallic goo around it and I guessed the filter had goo in it too. Shift points and down shifts improved greatly as a result. Remember to get the old gasket out when you pull the filter if it is not on the filter neck.

Stock gearing for a 93 with a 302 (5.0) is 3.55 with 4.11's having been an option. And 33's with 3.08's????! OMG! Does the E4OD EVER get into overdrive? I mistakenly ran 33's with 3.55's in my 92 for a while... tranny spent more time hunting for the right gear than I spend hunting for Bronco answers!

do the gears first so you save the rest of the drivetrain from undue strain. if your planning on running 35's be sure to gear for that.

So, Kem, you are @ 2200-2400/70mph with 4.88's in OD? Makes me wonder if I should consider going taller than 4.11's with 33/34's. Guess I need to research the ratios in the M5 first and see how they compare with the E4OD.
