HELLO EVERYONE,
I have a 97 ford ranger 4x4 4.0 Splash with the 5 speed with OD.
The trans makes a noise in third gear but does not slip and goes into grear easy.
Is it ok to drive it and skip third gear and go to 4th for a while untill I get it fixed ?
Also is it very hard to rebuild the 5 speed myself ? I have built motors and was just thinking about rebuilding the trans.
Last thing- does anyone have a 5 speed for a 97 that they want to sell ?
Thanks for all your help and if anyone knows what the 3rd gear is doing please let me know, it makes a little rattle but nothing bad. the rest of the gears are great.
