If you're looking for a manual transmission that won't let you down, the Zumbrota Drivetrain Manual Transmission might just be what you need. These units are rebuilt with care, going through a rigorous three-step inspection process that ensures quality and reliability. It all starts with a pre-inspection where they check for case cracks and excessive wear—trust me, you want to catch those issues before they become a headache down the road.

Next up, they measure all the component parts to make sure they meet OEM specifications. This isn't just a quick glance; they really dig in to ensure everything is up to snuff. And after the rebuild, there's a final inspection to confirm that each unit meets Zumbrota's high standards. They even check the internal parts for gear wear, mainshaft straightness, and synchronizer performance. It’s like giving your transmission a full check-up before it hits the road.

But it doesn’t stop there. Each transmission is dyno-tested to simulate real-world scenarios, so you know it’s going to shift smoothly and operate quietly. They also replace all the seals, which is crucial for longevity. And let’s not forget about the cleaning process—Zumbrota uses a hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting to get both the internal and external parts spotless, followed by a proprietary shot-enticed deep cleaning. This attention to detail sets them apart in the remanufacturing game.

Now, if you’re driving a Ford Explorer, Ranger, or a Mazda B4000 from ’95 to ’97, this transmission fits right in. Specifically, it's the M5R1 5-Speed 6-Tooth Manual Transmission, perfect for the 4.0L 2WD models. And to top it off, Zumbrota backs their products with a solid 2-year unlimited mileage warranty. You can drive with confidence, knowing they stand behind their work.

  • Three thorough quality inspections during the remanufacturing process.
  • Pre-inspection to catch case cracks and excessive wear.
  • Second inspection checks component parts against OEM specs.
  • Final post-build inspection ensures strict quality standards.
