Hey ranger enthusiast, I've got an issue I was hoping ya'll could help me with. I've got a 93 ranger 4 speed with OD 3.0. I picked it up a while ago and have been restoring it for a daily driver. However, I noticed the clutch has been slipping and my knowledge of transmissions is limited at best. My full tune-up before getting it registered did a transmission drain and fill, and I did use dex/merc auto trans fluid.
What it's doing is it will sometimes be really slow to accelerate in 1st and 2nd gear, and often it will rev way more than it should with limited movement, especially uphill. All that says to me a slipping clutch. This being a 93 I'm thinking it may have an adjustable linkage.
Is there something I can just tighten up on these old rangers to maybe fix the slipping or do I need to just get to work on replacing the clutch? Please only comment if you know if there is an adjustable linkage or not.
Thanks, Michael B.
