Not sure where this post should go.
I have a 2001 Ranger with the 4L V6 and 5sp manual trans. I have been noticing a low pitched whine or possible roaring at 2000RPM. It seems to be consistent in all gears (not sure about reverse). It seems the same no matter what speed I am traveling at. It does not occur by just revving the engine so that tells me it is something in the drivetrain. I replaced the the clutch and flywheel about a week ago and it seems to have just made the noise more noticable (not louder, just seems like things are better coupled now, hence providing more feedback). It reminds me of the sound of the engine when it is under really heavy load (pulling a motorcycle trailer), but it seems to have plenty of power and tourque. I am at a loss as to where this noise may be coming from in the drivetrain. Any suggestions?
