I bought a 2000 Ranger w/ 90K miles on it a few months ago.
This morning, it started making a "hissing" sound when I put it in 2nd gear. The noise also shows up in 3rd, but I can't hear it in any other gears.
Transmission appears to be an M50D-R1. No signs of a leak - everything is clean and dry. Not problems of any kind with the truck until today.
Noise is only present when truck is moving, and in 2nd or 3rd gears
Loudest in 2nd, quieter in 3rd
Noise varies with vehicle speed
Noise does not seem to vary with load, engine RPMs, clutch in/out
There was no sign of any problem before this morning. My wife *did* borrow the truck yesterday, and she's can be pretty brutal with a clutch...
Any suggestions what I might be dealing with?
