Yes, it is possible to convert an M50D-R1 5-speed transmission to a 4x4 configuration using parts from an M5OD-R1 4x4 transmission. However, this process requires significant modifications, including obtaining a transfer case compatible with the M50D and ensuring proper alignment and mounting. Additionally, you will need to address the drivetrain components, such as the driveshafts and differentials, to ensure compatibility with the 4x4 system. Overall, while it can be done, it is a complex task that may require specialized knowledge and skills.
M5OD
I would guess not, an M5OD* is a Mazda replacement. To anybody who doesn't know an M5OD means Manual 5-Speed with Over Drive
yes they do
M5od-r1
Mazda 5 speed transmission M5OD-R1 is the one you have in your ranger...and f150 would have the same code on the door sticker but the tranny is a M5OD-R2

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.
The 1994 Ford Ranger typically uses the Mazda M5OD-R1 manual transmission or the Ford 4R44E automatic transmission, depending on the engine and configuration. The M5OD-R1 is also found in models like the Mazda B-Series trucks from the same era. For automatics, the 4R44E is common in various Ford vehicles, including some models of the Explorer and Aerostar. Always verify compatibility with your specific engine and drivetrain setup before making a swap.
Yes, an M5OD transmission can be bolted up to a 3.0-liter Ford engine, as it was designed for use with various Ford engines, including the 3.0L V6. However, compatibility may depend on specific model years and configurations, so it's essential to ensure that the bellhousing and input shaft match appropriately. Additionally, you may need to consider other components like the clutch, flywheel, and transmission mounts for a proper fit.
therangerstation.com as well as autozone.com both have decent write ups for this problem.
FORD recommended Mercon-ATF for the Mazda 5-speed manual OD transmission in the 1992 Ranger XLT. 90 weight gear lube is probably way too heavy for this type of smaller transmission.
The drain plug is a 15/16" socket on the m5od R2 transmission. I have heard of guys being able to use a 24mm in a pinch since it is only .007" larger than the 15/16".
