The Mazda trans is the same one used in Ford Rangers until 88 ( Toyo Kygo TK4 and TK5 with an aluminum lower pan ) I put a 5 speed together with used parts for my 84 Ford Bronco 2 about 16 years and probably 80,000 miles ago. It has been run on ATF since then. It had some gear whine since install but it is still going.
The steel pan units found only in some 4 WD trucks were Mitsubushi and the no pan units from 88 up were Mazda M5OD.
And, the Ford 2.3 OHC motor could have been gotten in 80's Mazda trucks. ( Ford owns / had owned a bunch of Mazda since the early 70's )
