hi new to the forum and just purchased a 89 2 wheel drive ranger with the m50d 5 speed trans. I bought it knowing it needed transmission attention.
it will not move in any gear except 4th gear. when you have the clutch released you can hear the throw out bearing making noise and it goes away when the clutch is depressed. I am in the process of pulling the trans.
my question is what is causing the above issues? depending on what I find I am looking at replacing the throw out bearing, slave, master, possibly clutch and various seals. I don't want to do all that to this trans if its the trans itself that is at fault. I have been told that these transmissions will burn up if it has no fluid in them. when I pulled the driveshaft I had no fluid come out so there may be no fluid in the trans. thanks for all input.
