Default Will it fit?

Will a 3.0L out of a '99 Ranger that had an auto tranny match up to my manual 5 spd for my '02 Ranger that had a 2.3L DOHC?

You might have to change the bell housing on the tranny IIRC and then there are a slue of other things that'll need to be changed as well I assume

No, you are better of finding another 2.3, or a new transmission.
