Hey, my 15yr old just bought this 93 Ranger (probably the 12th one in the family) and we will be replacing the clutch and clutch slave cylinder next week. We will flush the 5pd tranny, possibly swap out the rear main while we are in there. Differential was leaking, so we changed fluid and put in a new gasket, gear oil was super clean so it had probably been done recently, but RTV "gasket" was faulty.
I can't identify the noise because it is crazy loud grinding at weird times...
It will consistently make the grinding noise in every gear except 4th with clutch depressed and revving the engine.
Occasionally, while slowing or accelerating (possibly while taking corners )same noise. (no idea correlation of gears)
I am hoping it is Pilot Bearing or something simple, concerned it is an input gear bearing or something in the tranny... but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
