A buddy of mine told me the 5 speeds in the rangers and broncos are t5 trannys, but just have different shift forks and such, and said that if you switch the shift forks with that of a mustang then it will work? Just wondering if this was true or not
Yes there were T5s in Rangers, and a plethora of other stuff, even outside of Ford. Camaros used T5s back in the day. I don't know why you'd change the shift forks, that has nothing to do with how it operates outside of the case. As far as gear material, ratios, synchros, and all the other internal stuff, there are some differences between the trannys.
