Relaced tranny on 1985 ford ranger 5 speed. there is a mount or weight goes with rear cross member. where does it go?

If your just replacing the tranny mount just remove the bolts from that mount and lift the tranny up with a jack .
If the transmission will raise high enough to remove the mount your in luck , if not just remove the crossmember bolts and slide it back enough to clear the mount .
Hope this helps.

These are front motor mounts. The rear motor mount just shows the tranny mounted to cross-member. I'm afraid the motor mounts are all I have.

Typically 90weight, but just ask the autostore. Sometimes in older trannies one might add a qt of automatic tranny fluid to soften the shifting as syncros wear.

cross members are the chassis members that tie the side frame rails together. There will be one at the front and another at the centre of the chassis and one at the rear . There is a bolt in cross member at the rear of the gear box (rear engine mount). Most modern cars are uni-construction (that is the body is complete and the front section will have a front cross member and the sub-frame rails will be bolted under the body around the front door pillars and onto the fire wall.. IN heavy vehicles there is a front cross member the carries the front engine mount another after the gear box to carry the cabin mounts and then a member every 3-4 feet to the end of the chassis rails . Their only purpose is to tie the chassis rails together.

best way is to remove cross member 2 bolts each side , two in mount. slide out cross member and remove old mount from bottom of trans , slide member into place, will need jack stands or lift to hold car use jack to trans lift to take pressure off cross member, sometimes exhaust or drive shaft may have to be removed for clearance problems.

1992 Ford Ranger came with two different type of 5 speed stander transmission's that year.

For a Mazda stander trans it take's Automatic transmission fluid Mercon.

for a Mitsubishi stander transmission it take's Ford manual transmission fluid.

Hope this help's.

this is for rear wheel drive only front wheel drives require removing axle shat and dropping tie rod end and lower ball joint to get tranny out. If you start this I will give tork setting when I know what you have as it is a lot of work to type this out.

First disconnect the battery, inside the cab pull shifter boot off and remove snap ring to remove shifter, next get a block to go under engine remove drive line bolts and be sure E-brake is set and block the wheels, next put bolts from driveline into the read differential in order so you will be able to find them next disconnect the two starter bolts from the starter and tie starter up as not to allow the starter weight to hang on the wires. Remove two bolts holding slave cylinder on let hang off the side do not lose the shaft out of slave. Next remove the transmission mount bolt out next pull four bolts out of transmission cross member, next remove 5 bolts out of bell housing now get a baggie and a couple of rubber bands and pull drive shaft slide baggie over the transmission tail shaft and put on rubber band on bag to keep from losing fluid move drive shaft out of the way. Next disconnect the Speedo cable and wiring harness the reverse switch is at the top so will have to drop the tranny down to keep from breaking wire. Once you have a gap between the transmission and engine put block under back of engine slide the transmission out let the front drop down then lift up on rear of transmission and slide the cross member out of the way. Next slide tranny out of the way next remove the 6 bolts on the clutch assembly turning each bolt 1 and a ½ turns each till clutch is loose remove the clutch pressure plate and the throw out bearing, remove flywheel take to machine shop and have surfaced, replace the clutch plate pressure plate and the throw out bearing reinstall in reverse if you see any oil leaks replace seals, also replace rear transmission seal now if you don’t it will leak next after it is back together be sure you put new fluid in the transmission and bleed the slave cylinder.

Wow, your just starting..the good thing its easy. remove the shaft by taking off the UJoint from the rear end. The shaft the slides out from rear of tranny. Then remove cross member for tranny. remove shifter. Remove bolts from bell housing and your good..(PS Change slave cylinder if Manual).

Its bout the same for all rear wheel. Place a jack to support the transmission, remove the bolts from the mount and frame. If the tranny on a cross member then you should be able to remove the cross member by 4 bolts, then remove the mount from tranny and cross member.

The trans gearing is all the same, the rear end gear set is where final drive ratio is determined
