I suspect this is the 5 speed overdrive transmission that is produced by Mazda. We had one in a 1990 Ford pickup truck which was purchased new in 1990. Same set up with a 302 V-8 engine. The slave cylinder for the hydraulic clutch was inside the bell housing around the input shaft, rather than outside the transmission and could be serviced without dropping the transmission. The powertrain warranty did NOT cover the replacement of this slave cylinder. The heavy duty 5 speed with an external slave cylinder, this was covered. Anyway, ours might have had a bit north of 100k on the odometer. The truck was only used for pulling a 4 place snowmobile trailer less than a handful of times, a 16 foot ski boat about the same number of times, and a 20 foot travel trailer 8 times. No distance was any greater than 2 hours away. The fluid was serviced annually. It had started making some noise and shortly after blew out the seals in the transmission, and I think it may have also done the same to some or all of the gaskets. The transmission was removed from the truck. It has been nearly 20 years since that truck left our place, but I distinctly remember the transmission was completely torn down with all new bearings, seals, gaskets, and most likely some other parts. The total bill with labor was nearly $2000. I have been satisfied with most every brand of vehicle I have had from GM, Ford, and Chrysler. This truck had a few minor issues, but using that light duty transmission sourced from Mazda was not a very good idea in my opinion.
