Mazda M5OD transmission Reply #15 – August 21, 2009, 03:17:44 PM 5.0 Explorers did not have an available MTX. They were 5R55E automatics only. You could get the M5OD in the F150 behind the 5.0 and 4.9, but the gearing would be horrible for a car and I dunno if the shifter would be in the right place either. Quote Selected

Mazda M5OD transmission Reply #21 – August 28, 2009, 01:05:45 PM Ummmmmm...........You CAN use the M5R2 out of an F-150 -- they bolted those straight up to the 5.0s and they were the SC trannys -- not the M5OD ----slightly different. You'd need a 164 tooth flywheel.http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=21944&highlight=m5r2http://www.fordification.com/M5R2_5spd-swap.htmhttp://www.cobrasc.com/faqs_frames.htmQuoteDoes the Super Coupe 5-speed (M5R2) bolt up to a 5.0?Yes, but you will need a 164 tooth 50oz unbalance flywheel. The Mustang flywheel is a 157 tooth and will not work. The diameter isn't large enough to engage the teeth on the starter. Mc Leod industries can build one in either aluminum or steel. I am using their dual disc clutch setup as well but they offer more streetable and less expensive clutches as well. Mcleod can be contacted at (714) 630-2764 or (714) 630-3668 for tech service.

Mazda M5OD transmission Reply #24 – September 05, 2009, 12:29:31 AM The M5R2 was designed as a truck tranny. The M5OD is a much smaller box, and the shifter is completely different from the R2. The R2 wasn't designed for speed shifting, and is a very clunky shift anyway. I have one in my F-150, behind a 5.0, and it's done a beautiful job in that truck for 160000 miles (and counting). Any transmission can be destroyed behind any engine. It isn't the engine destroying the tranny, it's the driver. The curb weight of the T-Bird is nearly the same as my F-150 (standard cab, short bed), if not a little heavier. (Go figure) If you're running solid mounts, or poly mounts, and not the stock mounts, chances are, if you've got good bite on one burn-out, you're gonna turn a stock transmission into schrapnel. I've burned 'em a time or two in my truck, but, wheel hop is so bad in that thing, it'll rip the rear springs out before it hurts the M5R2. Don't ask me how I know. Quote Selected
