For anyone else attempting this, the zf5 tech manual is available for free online and will give you step-by-step instructions. It works great as a companion to a video like this.

This hurts my back watching this instantly.

I’m surprised I’m not having back spasms with all this junk I’ve been lifting up onto the table.

I just put a rebuilt a4ld in my ranger today and I had an extra hand and just rolling around on gravel was enough.

The fluid in my zf5 wasnt changed in 290k miles.. no wonder it has grinding issues

The M5OD was the biggest pos ever put into a truck. I've changed over 15 of them, they were all very weak, even for a 1/2 ton pickup. Last one I dealt with left me stranded in the middle of the night, 16 miles from anything...

That's interesting..because numerous amounts of people on forums associated with RBV vehicles can attest to the durability and reliability of the m5od. It IS a great transmission. Pretty much the only things that hurt them are running them low on fluid and getting them hot, which goes for practically any transmission auto or std, or using too thick of oil which can prevent fluid from reaching critical bearings. Keep them full of fluid by replacing those rubber shift plugs and drive them like the truck transmission they are, and you really won't find any more problems than other similar style gearboxes. If you're a tech and have really replaced 15 of them, I'd like to hear what your experience in diagnosing what their failures was like and what the causes were, seriously. If you're just a tinkerer/diy'er and all 15 transmissions you drove personally, then I think we would know by the most common denominator who or what was the problem by then.

Can I use this video to rebuild my small block zf5? Does it change a lot?

Hello! Help me figure out the calculation of revolutions on the power take-off gear. Gearbox ZF s5-42 (5.72). In order to choose the right KOM and hydraulic pump, I need to know the number of revolutions that the power take-off gear makes. It is located on the intermediate shaft. It has 45 teeth on a gear ratio of 5.72 and 43 teeth on a gear ratio of 4.65. Do I understand correctly that it engages with the primary shaft, with that part of it on which there are 27 teeth on the gear ratio 5.72 and 29 teeth on the gear ratio 4.65? Then at 1000 revolutions of the motor it will have 600 revolutions at the gear ratio of 5.72 and 670 revolutions at the gear ratio of 4.65? or not? Thanks!

Are you going to be using the 460ci case or is it for sale?

I need to do mine, i know reverse gear teeth are rounded by how goes in, plus getting some noise

What's that casing there can you the casing for the transmission from a small block and put a big block casing on there

Is there not a part 2 where you put it back together?

This project got put on the back burner.

Diesel ZF-5 has better ratios for diesel.

I'll take the M5OD 2 lol jk don't need that laying around.

You still need the shift tower
