Transmission Problem

[94Rangersplashdude]

Whats up
I have a 1994 ford ranger 3.0 stepside and my transmission went out on me this past sunday. I was wondering if anyone knew or had any ideas of what i could do. I was also wondering what transmissions would bolt un to me 3.0 liter. I am really trying my hardest not to get rid of this truck, becuase it is what i have always wanted for a ranger.
Thanks Dave

First of all, is it an automatic or manual transmission? 2wd or 4wd? If it's 2wd, you need another trans off another 2wd truck. If it's 4wd, then you need another 4wd transmission. If it's an automatic, then it's an A4LD and 1994 was the last year for them, so look at trucks 1994 and older. If it's a manual, it has an M5OD, which was/is available from 1990?-2008. And the new tranny has to be from another 3.0 truck, other engines have different bolt patterns that won't ft.

94 3.0 5spd transmission problems

my truck started making a high pitched squeal lately only when I'm going 60-65mph but today after a hard braking and grinding into third gear to slow down on the highway it started whining very loud in every gear but fourth so i drove it about 100 miles with the gears squealing at about 55mph and now there is a leak from transmission. Is is there a seal broken in my transmission or am i going to have to get a whole new tranny ?
