1997 Ford Ranger
4-cylinder, 2.3L, 5 speed
For a couple weeks now, I've found it difficult to shift gears. The transmission seems very particular about what speed I'm going for it to allow me to shift into gears easily.
Just today, I tried to reverse, and got a sound like I was trying to enter Reverse without pushing the clutch pedal. The gears were grinding against each other. I managed, with a lot of force, to shift into Reverse, and once I shifted it worked fine. A little later, while waiting at a red light, I experimented and again got the gear-grinding sound when attempting to shift into Reverse.
Could I have help identifying the problem and fixing it?
