there are three plastic plugs on the back of the transmission toward the top
behind the shifter underneath replace them with after market metal ones
about nine dollars take a socket just big enough to fit inside new metal cap
and tap it in there sometimes called freeze plugs
It should be a mazda transmission most likely
can you answer the question i have a 1990 ford ranger with a Mazda manual transmission what fluid does it require
Ford, Mazda, it doesn't matter, it's the same transmission in both Mazda and ford.
On a 1994 Ford Ranger : The 5 speed manual transmission takes ( 2.8 U.S. quarts of MERCON automatic transmission fluid ) ( transmission code " M " / Mazda )
What make and model ford 6 cyc will fit 96 mazda
On a 1994 Ford Ranger : For transmission code " M " ( 5.6 U.S. pints of MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the 5 speed manual transmission , made by Mazda ) according to www . the ranger station . com ( no spaces )
For a 1993 Ford Ranger , 5 speed manual transmission : ( trans code " M " / Mazda ) It takes 2.8 U.S. quarts of MERCON automatic transmission fluid
I believe there is an information sticker that can be seen with the drivers door open Transmission code " D " is a Mitsubishi manual transmission Transmission code " X " is a Toyo Koygo 4 speed manual transmission Transmission code " 5 " is a Toyo Koygo 5 speed manual transmission on a 1987 Ford Ranger according to ( www . the ranger station . com , no spaces , click on Tech Library ) The website shows that the Mazda transmission was used from 1988 on
Updated --- No, because starting in 1994 ford started using Mazda engines. So the 1999 ranger will have a whole different transmission than the 1993. Incorrect.-------- Mazda has manufactured transmissions for the Ranger since 1988. The model numbers are the same from 1988 to present, M5OD-R1, with the exception of the 1997 to present 4.0 SOHC, which uses the M5OD-R1HD transmission.
Look for information on 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0L as well. (Same vehichle.)
should but check with junk yard they have the book
In a 1989 Ford Ranger : See if there is an information sticker on the end of the drivers door or the latch pillar Transmission code " D " is the Mitsubishi 5 speed manual transmission Transmission code " M " is the Mazda 5 speed manual transmission
