I'm sure the information I'm about to ask for is posted somewhere but they're pretty specific questions so I'm just going to ask I have a 1992 Ranger with the 2.3L and 5 speed trans. The trans has a fairly high pitched whine while under power in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and in 5th. But not in 4th. I think that its the front countershaft bearing from what I can find this is a pretty common problem. Any other ideas or is this a good diag? Also there is a constant loose grinding noise at the front of the trans at any rpm, any gear even neutral. It only goes away when the clutch is depressed. I'm thinking worn throwout bearing? It could possibly be something in the actual clutch assembly but I suppose I won't know until I get the chance to pull the trans. I'm just hoping to get some feedback on my ideas for what my trans noises could be? Any help or info would be appreciated before I tear into it!
