Well, my M5R2 is whining for a replacement. That's the drain plug for the transmission and the fluid looks like metallic paint. I'm looking for a rebuilt/remanufactured replacement. I decided not to go the junkyard route as everything is high mileage already. What companies out there can you...

Hello everyone. I am a new owner of a 1995 2.3 2WD 5 speed Ranger Super cab. bought from a dealer fairly cheap, but needs more work than I thought. I plan on making this my daily driver. My 2011 RAM has 164k miles and is killing me in gas. Really like this little Ranger, but I have to pull...

Hello, first post here, and I have an interesting problem. I've been wanting to set my truck on fire since this weekend, but I've held back because I actually do like it when it's acting normally. Long story short, I was having clutch issues. 180xxx miles on the original clutch. It was still...

Hi kids! So I have a '94 2.3l with a 5 speed,non a/c. Shes got 190k miles. I've noticed that I have a hell of s time shifting, especially from 2 to 1st, especially when the weather is hot. Even worse if the truck is at a stop. I need to remember to push it into first just before it comes to a...

Hello i have 2003 ford ranger 4.0 6 cylinder 5 speed. i recently put a brand new crate motor in it, and it seems like there is not as much power as the old motor. could this just be a simple exhaust leak i have the factory exhaust. I never noticed it when i got the new motor because i did not...

'93 Ranger has a rough idle whether it's warmed up for cold start. It will shudder down to what sounds like 600rpm then it will kick back up and it will keep going back to the shaking and shuddering. I could change the plugs, wires, injector. What's wrong with it?

if this isnt in the right place let me know (first timer) I have a 1991 Ranger 2.9 5 speed (mazda trans i believe? non detachable bell housing.) It is making one hell of a noise when the trans is 'engaged'. It is not coming from the bell housing area...im not thinking it is the throw out...

Hi I am Doug, Obviously I am a ranger fan, I have had proabably a ranger in my driveway for the last 18 years. I really like them. My daughter also liked them. I lost her to cancer in 2006, she was 5 years old. At the time I had a baby blue 1986 ranger, I also had a Explorer, on one trip...

Hey Everyone, My truck has a bit of squeal under moderate to heave throttle, and under load (hills and such). If I depress the clutch, the sound is gone, and does not happen when revved in neutral with clutch engaged. There is no chattering or rough engagement in 1st gear, although it will not...

I have a 93 Ranger 4.0 5 speed (mazda) 2wd, previous owner ran it out of fluid, damage is done. Tranny is noisy in every gear except for 4th, but mostly in 1rst and 2nd. Is it worth (economically) to tear it apart or just hunt for a new tranny before this one blows up. Keep in mind been driving...

First off, this seems to be a great forum... also full of people with knowledge! (i have a 1993 ranger 4x4 3.0 5spd manual) i will start with a little background to my question. i had a rebuild on my tranny less than 5k ago. before it was replaced, the plugs on the top side of their Mazda...

Looking to do a auto to manual tranny swap. Found a donor 93 EB and know the trans will swap but what about the other parts like pedal assembly, master cylinder and steering column? May need the shafts too due to M5od vs A4LD length but not sure. Going into a 90 B2 that is showing signs of...
