How do I know which transmission My Ford Ranger has?
Since 1983, the Ford Motor Company has used about 10 transmissions for its compact Ford Ranger. The transmission identification code can be found on the vehicle’s safety compliance label on the driver’s side door post.
How do you tell what year a transmission is?
Open the driver’s side door and find the white card on the side of the door that is filled with small black lettering.

How do I know if I have a 4 speed or 6 speed transmission?
A simple way is to drive it and count the gearshifts the truck makes to your top speed. Though by 100 miles an hour you should know. If it only makes 3 shifts then it’s a 4 speed (you start at 1st). If it’s 5 shifts then it’s a 6 speed.
Which is better 4 speed or 5 speed transmission?
More than just helping with accelerating, having more speeds helps with fuel economy. At any given speed, a transmission with more gears is better able to let the engine stay at a more efficient speed. So all things being equal, a five speed will be better at putting power out and more efficient while doing it.
Can you replace a 4 speed transmission with a 6 speed?
Re: can you switch a 4 speed for a 6 speed It can be done, alot of the hod rod truck guys do it. Not a small undertaking. The six speed is a longer transmission so the crossmember has to be modified, drive shafts modified, TCM cabling it reworked, TCM reprogrammed, Need custom tuning done for it.

What’s the difference between a 6L80 in a 6 l 90?
What is the difference between 6L80 and 6L90 transmission? The main difference between the 6L80 transmission and 6L90 transmission is the strength of the internal components. The 6L90 transmission case is 1-3/8” longer, which provides extra room to house two additional pinion gears (6 total).
How many miles will a 6L80 last?

Will a 6L80E bolt up to a LQ4?
As long as you don’t have an early LQ4 with the longer crank, the 6L80E should bolt up. Controlling it is another matter. You really need a GenIV engine/ECM to work with it, or a MAST controller. I think Speartech may also offer a kit that will work with an LQ4/6L80e, but I’m not positive.
