Might be getting another EX with a dead A4LD. No real desire at this time to rebuild another one. Thinking a 5 speed swap to be ideal. Some questions that I can't really find answers for.
I know I need the Mazda trans, clutch set and flywheel, slave and master cylinders and hose. AND the manual specific starter...
The truck is also a 94, so I know I don't want to go newer (different connectors). I'me sure I can grab almost everything I need from a Ranger or EX. But probably need EX specific wiring.
After reading GMan's thread, and his issues between auto and manual ECUs, will this be an issue in the 1st gen as well? If I need a Manual specific ECU am I going to have wiring issues like Gman? (Not a big problem, just something to think about and plan for, since I swapped a complete 90 cab and engine harness into a 88 Ranger cab...)
Can I use Ranger clutch/brake pedal assemblies, or MUST I use an EX specific?
And will the 1354E tcase from the A4LD bolt up to the 5 speed?
Is there anything else I need to source from the Rangers or EXs I haven't mentioned?
Thanks all!
