I'm about 99% sure my tranny in my truck is about to pass on to a better life.
On trips on the hwy to and from work, aprox 30mins, the shifter becomes very hard to move out of gear and nearly impossible to put in to another. With the truck pulled over on the shoulder I can then move the shifter, but the tranny seems to be stuck in 5th. Even when the shifter is in neutral the tranny is still in 5th. After the trucks sits and cools for a couple hours I can then select the gear I want again. The fluid was at the right level, but has a real nice burnt smell to it. I've put new tranny fluid in since praying for a miracle, but I've still got a growly tranny that I don't trust at all.
On to the good news,.... I hope. My step father is about to scrap his 93 2wd ranger with a 3.0L. The tech section here says they both have the same tranny, but with different ratios in first and second. ( I would like the lower gear anyway, I always thought mine was too tall.)
My question is, is it as simple as swapping the tail stock and output shaft from my tranny on to the 2wd one? If so, how far in to the tranny do I need to go to get the out put shaft out?
Any advice or help would be great, exploded diagrams a big bonus...
