Hey guys I have a 96 ranger 4.0l 4x4 5speed. My slave cylinder was leaking real bad so I replaced it. Took the drive shafts out, tranny mount, exhaust, y pipe, ya know everything to get to the tranny. Swapped slave cylinders and put it back up. Hooked everything up and bled it. Took it for a drive, about 5 miles down the road I hear this loud obnoxious howling. Come to a stop, still doing it for about 10 seconds then stops. Drove around a bit more to try and figure out when it does it and what happens when I do certain stuff. When it would make this loud noise I would engage and disengage the clutch, nope still will keep going. If I shift into neutral it doesn't stop. It will only stop when I, let say, put a load on the truck. If I give it gas, push the clutch in and rev it it stops immediately. I had it in 4th and it started howling, I took my foot off the gas and just let the truck coast in gear. It continued to make the noise until I shifted into 3rd. It happens at any speed although it hasn't above 50 nor at an idle. Happens very random. Anyone have any idea where I went wrong or what it could be? It's so loud I can't pin point it. Hopefully I didn't confuse anyone lol. Any ideas would be great thanks.
