I am pretty sure my synchro is toast in my 2000 Ranger 3.0, I am getting squeaking sounds that sound like a bad bearing for one of the pulley's, but its not. Its located on the back side of the motor on the passenger side, and when I apply pressure to the CPS, the squeaking goes away till I release the pressure.
I have ordered part number DA2089 which appears to be the syncrho, I am waiting for it to get in and want to figure out how I am going to replace it. I have a good shop manual, but they appear to be using a tool to install the part. Is this needed? Is there a way around it? If not, where can I find the tool at? Also, what is the best way to get the motor TDC?
Thanks for any help!
