Hello everyone,
I have been lurking for a little while here on the forums and this is my first post. I am kicking around the idea of putting a non PD 1.9L in a ranger with a 5 speed tranny. I have done some searching and have not come up with a good solution for a rear wheel drive tranny. I know that it is possible to hook up a tranny with a samuri or toyota conversion kit, but I don't know how hard it will be to put the tranny in the truck and mate the driveshaft to that as well. I would really like to put a T5 behind the engine but there is very little other info out there other than, "it could work" or "were looking into it".
Is it possible? What are the problems? Is the Input shaft long enough? Are the splines correct? Are there any problems with adapter plates mating up?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
