It's too late to be talking about rebuilds (most likely).

You do that when it whines a bit. When something BREAKS it makes for carnage.

It COULD be the countershaft, more likely the input gear lost it's teeth.

Remember that even a toothless input gear will still give you fourth,
because "forth gear" isn't really a "gear" at all but rather direct drive.
The input gear is simply locked to the output shaft and everything
inside the trans is simply along for the ride.

It's probably dead past the point where it's any good even as an organ donor.

i already made up my mind to get a new trans but its a bit trouble to find one, i was wondering if anyone knew if one would fit off a 89 bronco with a 2.9 i think i can get a hold of one.

no, the 2.9 "Cologne family" engine in an '89 bronco2 has a different bellhousing pattern than the 3.0 "Vulcan" engine you have, the 3.0 bellhousing pattern is unique.
(well, not exactly but the only OTHER engine with the same behllhousing
pattern is a FWD ONLY engine)

You must have a 3.0 trans.
