new guy with tranny problem

[85rx7_93ranger]

hey guys i just bought a 93 ranger, 4x4, 4.0, 5 speed manual for 350$ the owner told me he thought the clutch was bad so he put in a new clutch and it still wouldnt move in any of the gears, im picking it up tomorrow and bringing it home with a trailer. Thought id ask the guys with ranger experience here do you think the tranny could have a snapped input or output shaft? or could it be something like a broken chain in transfercase or any other ideas? just trying to figure out which way to go at this and get it fixed the first time
thanks

Welcome to TRS~!

You may be able to check it yourself...put it in gear and crawl under it (with the engine off, of course)...if you can move the driveshaft then you've got something disconnected...could be a U-joint, and you'd see it spinning if it is otherwise supported...but some of them just drop on the ground...

You might want to post this in an appropriate forum for more specific answers, because many of the Guru's don't read this one...
