hello to all,
I have an 88 ranger, 2.9, 2wd. I just put explorer 15's with 235/75 on my truck...it was jerking for about 2 weeks, but i figured it being an old truck with only 92k original miles and 6k being from me that it was the fuel system...but me and 2 of my buddies were heading home going about 60 mph and it locked up...the tranny will shift easily into all gears except 1st but when i let the clutch out in any gear or neutral it dies..i had the tranny out 2,000 miles ago and had my grandpa (diesel and gas mechanic his whole life) look at everything for me and he said it looked like a brand new tranny. The shifter bushings and washers had fallen down into it. we cleaned it out and flushed it and it ran good...any ideas as to what is wrong with it? i'm waiting for the weather to get warm to pull it again and i was wondering if it could be salvaged or not.
