92 Ranger reg cab w/3.0
I have the engine out for replacement and I also pulled the trans to inspect and reinstall them together. The trans works ok, but is whiny. It has 255k on it and was run low of fluid for ~50 miles due to leaky vents 25k miles ago.
Now while it is out seems the time to do something about it. Should I rebuild what I have, or see if I can find a donor with a few less miles?
I'm reasonably sure I could do the rebuild and have the tools needed except a press. Can I get around the press by heating the bearings?
Getting a donor feels like playing roulette,
