tranny

New here, not sure if this is where it belongs Just bought a 2011 4.0 4x4 with 133k miles. Drove real great initially but wanted to change the oil with 5W30 and transmission filter/fluid just to keep on top of it myself. Dropped the tranny pan the magnet looked like a caterpillar with metal...

I own a 2001 Ranger XLT 2WD with the notorious 4.0 SOHC engine. However, I'm at almost 350,000mi and the engine is fine, but I am becoming concerned with my transmission. Twice now, at the same part of highway, I got the dreaded flashing "O/D Off" light. Truck continued driving and shifting...

It's a 2.9L with a bad tyranny, doesn't go into reverse and slipping badly in drive (lower gears seem to be working). I'm in serious need of a running vehicle and looking for recommendations on where I might get a really decent price on a good used tranny. In Chesapeake, Va. area.. Thanks in...

Hello all, i have a question regarding my 2.3l 4 cylinder 1994 ranger. Within in the next year id like to swap up for a 3.0 or 4.0 v6, my current transmission is an automatic 4 speed. So my question is, if i swap up to a 3.0 or preferably a 4.0, will i also need to spring for a different tranny?

I have an 87 Ranger STX. I cant really find much info on this swap. What would be involved to do the swap?? From what I can find, the M5OD should bolt right on with a new floor plate. But I have a feeling that something else would be need. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

I recently had a new transmission put in my truck but the O/D OFF light still flashes. I have taken it back NUMEROUS times to have it checked because that usually means its over heated but everything checks out and reads fine. The one thing that changed after the first one blowing up was some...

Hello all, I have a few questions about my '89 ranger with a swapped '91 3L engine and tranny. I'm only 16, so I've recently started towing a trailer with a mower on it around town trying to make some money. Here recently the 1-2 shift has become bad! It wants to hesitate to shift and get real...

I know not many people keep 'em, but does anyone in Alabama want a 1989 2.9L from a B2? I did the 4.0 and the truck came with two 2.9s. The two engines, i could sell as a pair, because i have no idea if they work. I also have the engine harness for one 2.9. There is also a busted A4LD if anyone...

1999 ranger 4.0 @200,000 manual 4wd I recently checked and filled transmission, and front diff, and transfer case, then this clicking under load started, I rechecked the fluid levels, made sure nothing was overfilled, checked three sources as to type of fluid.. the little black rubber dust...

So I've got the mitsubishi fm145, 4w drive hooked up to the 2.3L gasoline engine. Model #: FM145 Assy No: E67A7003FB Build code: 025132 The shifter has been real sloppy, and in taking off the boot and stuff, I found that the source of this sloppiness is the blue plastic ball at the end of...

i bought an 1989 ford ranger XLT, 4x4 2.9 and i love the truck it's tough and usually simple to fix. about a year ago i was doing donuts in the winter on some ice and my over drive stopped working when i came to a complete stop. i changed the ATF/filter and looked for any wear and stuff like...

so the other day i got a new clutch, shocks, brakes, and driveshaft. I went off road and went into 4x4 low. When i got back to 2x4 I had to go in reverse and I heard this weird noise. the noise almost sounds like metal rubbing on more metal. I feel as if the noise is comming from my transfer...

I have an 87 with a five speed, well four and an OD, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of fluid I'm supposed to use. The auto store said to use dexron/mercon. I think that's the spelling anyway, is this right?

Im having to change the clutch in our 94 Explorer and I just have a couple questions: Does anyone know how to get the y-pipe unbolted? And how do I disconnect the "tranny line"(?) The gold fitting that goes into the tranny near the top on the drivers side. Also, we live in a smaller town...

Hello. everyone.. I have a 1995 XL 2.3 5-speed.. When it's idling, it rattles from near the bellhousing. It only rattles at idle speeds and when the clutch pedal is out. If i have it idling, then push the clutch in, it stops rattiling. Also, the pedal doesn't go all the way up. It feels...

I have a 1988 ranger 4x4 with a 1986 ford 5.0 in it with an AOD tranny. The truck was originally a manual before the previous owner swapped a 5.0 in it, but i still have a clutch pedal and a big hole in my floor where they just slapped a auto floor shifter over the hole. My question is what...

I am a new member, and have read the forum rules. I am traveling 3,000 miles to daytona, FL in two days, and i need to fix my tranny tonight! i put a complete "clutch kit" in the truck about two weeks ago.. over the past two days, it has suddenly started grinding almost every gear, and popping...

I'm starting to get all my parts together to do a 289 v8 swap in my 1988 extended cab 4x4 ranger. My 289 has an fmx tranny on it right now and I'm wondering if I can run that when I do the v8 swap? If not, what type of t-case can I run behind a c4 to where I don't have to buy a $500 kit to run a...
