M5OD-R2 vs ZF transmission

[Joker11]

Nice score Kyleq!
Come on. Spill the beans. How much?

 

[Joker11]

Oh,
S542 or S547?

 

[KyleQ]

Its a 92 - so I'm assuming S542. Not sure how it will like this motor... without spray on it.


Its a 92 Extended Cab with power everything - he ripped out the TTB50 and stuck a D60 in its place, but that is staying with him. He replaced the BW case with a NP205 - getting the truck for a grand. I should have some scrap when I'm done - a lots of bits and pieces for my 96' Bronco, totally a deal.

what transfer case does one needs for the m5o-r2

 

[KyleQ]

1356, 1354, NP203, NP205 - all the 6 bolt t-cases mate up to it. NP205 is probably the easiest...

The 205 is the only one that will fit into the EB with out major mods. You can use the D20 with the ZF adapter, that's what I have.

my wife was pretty pissed when I rolled this home. I wasn't planning on buying a truck today, but this F250 has an engine with 50K on it and a ZF transmission with 190K. wanted $800 but settled for $450 if I got it out of his driveway today. Now she sits in mine.

Need a little validation, is that good or what? Anyone know roughly what it would cost to rebuild the transmission if it comes to that?

Thanks!

You did good. I bought one for $700, sold a few parts cheap, found $30 in change behind the seat, then scrapped the truck, so somewhere in all that the ZF cost me like $230. You could get your money back out of the engine if you could document the miles on it.

X2 thats a good deal. pull the engine and whatever other parts you want and either part it out if you have the time or scrap it you'll get most of your $450 back in scrap alone. Parting out you could get more

There is always some one looking for the speed density harness from those trucks to and computer.

M5OD trans

I have a 1996 f150 4x4 short box with the M5OD trans. Periodically the trans pops out of 3rd gear while coasting down hill. It goes back in gear. I don't have to hold it into gear. But obviously something is wrong internally. I have two estimates so far. $2500.00 CDN to rebuild and install or $2800.00 CDN for off the shelf rebuilt one installed.

From my research it seems as though Ford put these M5OD's in trucks right up to 2008. So I wonder if a M5OD trans from an '08 F150 4X4 will fit into my 1996. If anyone has any experience or knowledge of this I'd be grateful.

In the meantime I ordered a new shift bushing kit to install. It's a real long shot but for $50.00 bucks and a bit of work why not right?

Used to be $695 for a late version now its $795. Add $250 for a new clutch and slave cylinder. Install isnt that bad.

It could just need the top shifter rebuilt. Easy job and can find tutorials on utube. If it needs a rebuilt one I would go with Joe's recommendation. Smartparts.com does run sales on the M5OD once in a while. Ken
