I have a remote shifter i built for my ranger. Dual linkage short throw shifter using only commonly available, cheap parts. I can post a video today showing it once I clean the truck out. Will also be doing a 5.0L and I cant imagine the shifter being an issue as mine is fully adjustable forwards and backwards and for throw. Let me know if you want to see it and ill update you when it's uploaded.
Was the driveshaft original to the truck or was it made to fit the 8.8 rear differential everything I've seen says the transmission spline count is different between the two Ranger says 28 and F150 says 30/31 whatever that means I bought a 5 speed manual transmission from a 1995 F150 and I'm trying to do this swap in my 1988 Ranger my trucks a regular cab short box any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jake I'm currently living in the nightmare of da 5.0 swap . Now what your gonna wanna do is check out the junk yards around you . Alright Alright I'm gettin to it! Explorer 96-01 (note your probably going to need a 96 ecm to bypass chip key) The explorer came with gt40 5.0 . Hope it helps lot's a luck to yall.
Allow me to put some learnin up on to it just taking about shifter cut the shifter shaft 2" below where it would make contact with the dash . Then weld it to a 30 degree angle that should do fine or personal preference. Good day to yall........yes I'm from Floriduahh

I'm using a 1995 Mustang GT engine and 5speed manual transmission, in a 1991 Ranger, will I have the same shift-er lineup? And what should I be doing about the clutch?, The Ranger was a hydralic and the mustang was a cable.
