1989 Ford Ranger 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Thank you for taking time to read this.
i have a 1989 ford ranger xlt with a bad trans, (5 sp. Manual) i'm replacing the trans with a 1997. When buying a new clutch, throwout bearing etc will it really matter what year parts to buy? The price difference for the 1989 are much different then the 97

If there is a price difference, then the transmission is different. Are you sure it will work?

Yes, I have completed the install and everything worked out well, I also replaced the clutch, presser plate, throwout bearing and master slave all new from my local auto parts store.

1- 1997 ford ranger 5sp. Manual junkyard trans
$197.00 with 30 day warranty.

Note: when at my local parts store they asked for the year of truck I used the year 1989 ford ranger xlt 2.3L and it all worked fine. However I had to use the 1997 stick shifter and the 89 boot.
Note: now use the mercon3 instead of the sae80 as req. For the 97 trans. I guess ill half to remember that when I change the fluid.
From my understanding the 1988-99 will work
anyone reading this try at your own risk!
Ah and feedback would be cool :)
