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 bearing, the noise is coming from the middle of the trans, and is loudest when im running in third gear. When im driving in fourth the noise goes away. But the noise is present in 1 2 3 5 and neutral. Not sure about reverse, im not a backwards speed racer. I am hoping for an easy fix, but if i have to tear it apart i will, im not a complete idiot, so with a little bit of guidance I shouldnt have a problem fixing it. Any help will be very appriciated. Thanks.
