I wish they still made practical, fuel efficient small trucks like this. I love my 02 Ranger and it's sad that the new Rangers are just corporate shill medium duty trucks with nothing special about them. I'll always be Ranger/S10/Tacoma fan, better for the environment too.
Having owned a Chevette of the same year--with the EXACT same model transmission--I thought the T5 5-speed was the standard manual transmission on the S-10? BTW: Nice fleet trim "dime"... like the silver one I had, but mine had the automatic. Still eeked-out 25-mpg, and could go 103-113MPH... before the downshift, and factory fault to the pre-'87 700-R4s would make the engine "flash".

The T5 came later. The early s-10’s had a 4 speed
