I recently changed my 88 Bronco II automatic over to a Mazda 5 spd. Now for some reason I have no brakes. My question is Is there any difference in the booster for the 5 spd. The pedal sits different than the old one did.

I recently changed out an A4LD to a M5OD & now would like to know what to do about the linkage to the transfer case. Any solutions?

Just a shout out: thanks for the diagram that fixed the problem. Got a new one,though. The starter doesn't work right,ie itgrinds a little before it starts the truck. It's a new starter that worked fine on the A4LD. Any suggestions?

I installed a clutch safety switch when I changed it over.

changed trans from A4LD to M5OD. won't start with key. Only way [I] can get it to start is by putting a push button between the solenoid & the battery but, that in turn stays hot all the time & runs the battery down. Also,can't get the transfer case linkage to work with this trans...

Finally got it started but, you have to cross the solenoid to get it to turn over. Will not start with the key.!? Any suggestions?

neutral safety switch I didn't override the neutral safety switch, I changed it over to the clutch interlock switch. I agree, it sounds like it has something to do with that switch but, I'm not quite sure what. Something else is also going on though. It's draining the battery just sitting...

Recently changed my A4LD over to a Mazda 5 spd. Long story short, it started once & after that will not turn over. Took the starter off & had it tested & tests fine on machine. Put back on truck...nothing. Replaced solenoid as well. Any ideas?

I'm swapping an A4LD for a 5 speed (Mazda). How does the clutch interlock switch hook up? It's supposed to take the place of the neutral safety switch. My question I guess is where does is this switch mounted at and what does it hook to?

Oh, by the way, nice looking ride!!

I've been told that they're not that good. I had a A4LD that bit the dust last year & was told the same thing about it & was told to get a Mazda M5 R1 (M5OD). I've got about all my parts now to change it over. We'll see

Twister: what clutch am I gonna have to get for the M5OD? Also is the starter gonna be different?

Just want everybody's opinion: What transmission is best suited to a Bronco II?

Thanks Guys for all the help. Going with the 5 spd!!

My Bronco II has an A4LD tranny & it's out. Just wanted to know if you guys think it'd be better with a 5 spd or just go back with another A4LD
