Well I bought this 1999 Ford Explorer 4x4 for $500 today and was gonna use it as a donor for my B2 but when I got it I saw how great of shape it was in and I think I am going to keep it and wheel it along with the B2. Well the only issue it has is it will you are driving it or sitting still it will randomly make a grinding noise and the engine will rev up. While it is reved up if you try to put it into gear it will make a grinding noise like you are grinding the gears. If you cut the truck off put it into gear and crank it up it will drive fine. Then it will drive fine for a little while and it will act up again. Some times when it does this you can firmly pull the shifter and it will drop into the gear. Any idea what it could be? I will probably replace the clutch but I was curious if there is some other things I could check first like the slave cylinder etc. Thanks for the help!
