I have a 1999 ranger 4x4 5 speed manual. Today I was pulling out onto a street in 1st gear and started to accelerate when all of a sudden I hear this loud gear grinding noise and I lose power to my wheels. Once I put the clutch in. It goes away. It goes in gear fine. If I let the clutch out super slow and give little to no gas I can go forward but once I let out the clutch at normal speed or I press on the gas when moving the sound happens again. The noise sounds like if you grind a gear accidentally shifting but way louder and more aggressive.
I don’t know where to start diagnosing and don’t want to take it to a shop quite yet if I can find out what’s wrong myself. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
