I have a ranger with a 3.0 v6 and a 5speed m5r1 trans. I purchased a new transmission and went to install it today and the starter is on the opposite side as the one on my truck, everything seems to be exactly the same speedo cable input neutral switch everything except that starter mount location. i was wondering if anyone knew if i could take the innards of the new and put them in my whining trans...
here is what its doing- in neutral with the clutch disengaged it makes a sort of grinding sound as if the clutch plate(or something else?) is rubbing something... once you engage the clutch the noise goes away, it doesnt slip out of gear but some times if i get on it, it doesnt want to shift into gear on a down shift, normally in 3rd and 2nd but if i slow to about 35 or so mph i can jam it into 1st then get it into second. I keep the fluid topped off even though it leeks kind of bad. It makes a loud noise when a gear is engaged like a winding whining noise in all gears except 4th is a little quieter. It seems to pull strong, i can chirp the tires shifting at 4500 rpm into 2nd... i just have a feeling its going to go soon so i want to change it so its not so damn noisy and alot healthier, also so it doesnt leak.
If someone could please help me out I would appreciate it.
Also I wanted to shoot some ideas around about painting it up
