Hello fello ford lover's,
I have a 99 ford ranger 3.0L 4x4 and I have a whining noise coming from either my transmission or transfercase. It matches my rpm's but is only in 1st, 2nd and reverse gears and only with the clutch out. The second I push the clutch in it goes away. I didn't have my four wheel drive working for about 3 years until a couple month ago I put in the new AVM hubs on and a new dash switch. Now I have four wheel drive but just recently I've noticed a winding noise in low gears in both 4x4 and 2wd. Last night I pulled the rail plugs out and siliconed them. I wasn't low on trany fluid but I wanted to make sure I fixed a known problem. When I drove it the noise didn't go away so I checked the transfer case fluid and it was about a quart low ( yikes )! I hope I provided enough information for someone to try and diagnose this problem because I don't know anything about rebuilding a trany or transfer case especially when I don't know what is wrong. The noise really sounds like it's coming from the section where the trany connects to the transfer case. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
