M5R2 No Speedometer Connection
Question: I have a m5r2 transmission for a 302 ford engine, what speed sensor could you install?
Answer: The M5R2 from 1988-1991 had a mechanical speedometer gear in the tail housing of the transmission. If you do not have a speedometer port the transmission you have must be a 1992 or newer? That being said you can take the 4x2 tail housing off and see if there is a landing, a ball hole and a snap ring area on the shaft. If there is one, you can install the speedometer and the earlier tail housing to accomplish this. If not then the transmission would need to have the output shaft changed.
