Default How to tell m5od hd

Hello, I have a 2000 xlt 3.slow 2wd with the 5 speed manual. My tranny has been whining like I have a supercharger for some time now. I've been looking to replace it with the m5od hd but being so close to 2001 I was thinking it may have one already. On the side of the tranny there is a F87A code. Also I was reading a swap thread and the shifter lock bolt is at the back of the shifter instead of on the side it looks like. Mine is on the back. Please help me identify.

4.0l are the only hd. Technically it's only the sohc 4.0l.

You need to either rebuild it or find a 3.0l specific r1.

The rebuild kit is about $250. And on the explorer forum you can find a very good rebuild thread. Actually it pops up of you just google it

So are you saying the m5od is engine specific? I can't go pull an hd unit out of the junkyard? If so that's a bummer.

It's bell housing specific to the engine being the bell housing isn't removable

Bummer. Thanks for the answer. I guess a rebuild is on store for me. Thank you again. Cheers.

Doesn't the R1-HD have the same bolt pattern with an extra hole vs the R1?
