transmission

dumb question for the day... How do I stop the leaking from the transmission line going into the radiator? I have gradually tightened it fittings down but afraid I’m going to crack the tank or strip threads if I tighten it much more. Should the fittings have some sort of sealing tape or other...

How’s it going, this is my first post on this website. I have been using this site for years looking up information on all my Rangers. I’ve owned about 6 rangers, 5 of them have been square body’s. Anyways I’ll get to the point. So I pulled out my transmission on my 1991 4X4 4.0 ranger due to it...

Hi, I've got a 1987 Bronco II. It's a 2 wheel drive. It runs and drives well. When I bought the truck. It had a pretty bad grinding noise when I would go from stop at a red light to take off. I figured it was either sticking brakes or the transmission. I checked the brakes, but they looked ok. I...

Hello all, I have been searching for an answer for this for what feels like hours. I can find plenty of examples of 4x4 Rangers being 5.0 swapped or manual 2WD being 5.0 swapped but not 2wd auto swaps. So here is my question: I'm currently looking to buy a donor ‘98-‘01 Explorer/ Mountaineer...

My ranger seems to be sucking transmission fluid into the motor. I've checked the EGR I check for leaks and I can't find anything. It looked like transmission fluid was in the motor oil. Can anybody give me any insight. Greatly appreciated

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...

So of course as I've said I'm pretty new to really working on cars but I've got a lot of questions about how I can really fully analyze the state that my clutch/transmission is in and decide how much of it needs work and what kind of work. This truck's my project for the foreseeable future and...

Hey guys, I just bought my first ranger, a 02 Fx4 4.0 with a manual. I love the truck and it's got only 92k on it. When I bought it the clutch pedal felt a little soft and about a day later the master cylinder went out on me. I believe the truck sat for a little bit of its life. After replacing...

Has anyone seen an M5OD Transmission with only upper bell housing bolt holes? Just picked up what looks to be like an M5ODR1 Transmission (looks identical to the one removed from the 94 Mazda B4000/Ranger I drive). The only difference looked to be the front drive line output shaft. So the 4WD...

Hey y’all, New to the site and was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction with regards to my transmission issue. Earlier today I was backing up a small inclined driveway and heard a loud pop like I ran into something. I got out and looked around and didn’t...

Hey guys,new here. So i purchased this 89 bronco ii back in the winter time and its been a great little ride, 2.9 Auto and 4x4. Well here recently ive been hearing a little bit of a loud noise which it sounds like its coming out of the torque converter. I have also noticed, even when i first...

Hey guy, I wanted some input on a reoccurring problem I have again with the bronco 2. The trucks got a 2.9 with a fm145 tranny out of a 85 ranger in it. The truck sometimes makes a clatter or almost grinding sound for a split second as the engines ignites. Right as you crank it over and the...

hey guys i hope you can help. i have a bronco ii that im planning a build for, and my dream-money-no-issue build is to do a 2.8t Cummins. i think... still open to the 302/5.0/ecoboost/4.0 options im looking for good v8 power with great fuel economy and long time reliability. plus keep my 4wd...

My transmission on my project 1985 Ranger is missing the entire shifter assembly. I was wondering if anyone could give me a good website for a replacement for the assembly, boot (the boot on it is worn out), shaft and knob on a TK5. Also, when tearing out the interior I noticed that the bolt...

How would i hook up the sender for my autometer trans temp gauge without having to drill a hole in the stamped pan, i don’t trust that it won’t leak. 90’ Ranger A4LD

I have a 1989 V6 2.9L 2wd ranger. It has a mazda m50-r1 transmission in it. I went to replace it with another m50d-r1 transmission I bought used, and discovered when I went to put it in that the housing for the starter is on the wrong side. In my truck the starter is on the driver's side and the...

Hey all, new guy here. I'm looking forward to being an active member of this community. A little about me: I'm a 30 something ecologist who lives in Eastern Washington. I use my truck to commute to work, and I sometimes use it as my work truck. I also use it on the weekends for camping and ski...

Hey guys, only my second thread on here hope it’s in the right place. anyways I have a noise coming from my (manual) transmission. I almost sounds like bells ringing, or a chain being dragged. the sound occurs whenever you’re moving in any gear, or in neutral stopped. The sound doesn’t occur...

I have a 2001 ranger with the 4.0 sohc with the manual 5 speed M5OD transmission, 4x4. The transmission has developed some bearing noise and someone is selling a trans out of a 1997 Ranger with the 4.0 ohv 4x4. Will this be a plug and play swap? What are the compatible years for my transmission...

Hi all and Happy New Year! 2003 Ranger Edge 2WD V6 3.0L Manual Non Flex I have just done a engine swap (1st time doing any engine work) and have everything up and running great (just like a new truck). One more problem remains that followed me from before the swap. I have a surge/buck that...
