I have a 4 cylinder transmission. And I have a 6 cylinder Transmission. Both are for a ford ranger. 1997 for the 4 cylinder. 1999 for the 6 cylinder. I want to take my 6 cylinder transmission and put it into my 1997 ford ranger. Could it be done? The body on the 1999 is all smashed up.

I learned this tip from one of my customers. He has a dismantling shop, selling Ford parts. 6 cylinders ford ranger transmission is same thing like 4 cylinders transmission, but, bell housing between v6 and v4 are different. So, if you like to install this v6 transmission on this v4 truck , just remove bell housing on v6 transmission and use the same bell on v4. That's all. I hope it helps anyone.. March 2019
