Mazda M5OD transmission

Looking for MTX for my 87'XR-7
Can I use M5OD tranny from Explorer 4.0 with my 302 Windsor?
Thanks

The shifter is too far forward, and the bellhousing is probably a different pattern.

Oh yeah, that may be a bit harder to get American car parts. Trinom is from that end of the world he may be able to help you.

The 4.0 Explorer tranny will not bolt onto a 5.0. The 4.0 is a "Cologne" V6 engine with a different bell housing than the Windsor V8.

If you can't find a 5.0 T5 you might find a 2.3 T5 and installing a 5.0 bellhousing. Many people say they won't stand up to a 5.0, but lots of people say they will as long as you keep the engine "mild", and you're probably more likely to find a 2.3 in Asia or even Europe than you would a 5.0.

There is no problem with small light parts.
I'm using USPS Express usually.
But too expensive shipping for heavy parts like tranny, engines...

Yeah, I know that 4.0 is Cologne.
2.3 is a more rare than 5.0 here. Never see it alive)

OK. Will try to find MTX from 5.0 Explorer...

Yeah but the T-bird SC is on a completely different chassis.
