I have a 1990 Ranger XLT 5 speed. I can no longer put it into 4th gear without it grinding, I can still put in 4th, but I have to slam in there. I was told that it may be the clutch going out, it could be metal shavings or the transmission fluid may need to be changed. I don't know, as of now since it is my daily driver I just skip 4th. Anymore ideas on this would be appreciated.
I also am planning on restoring and I'm wanting to put a 5.0 in it. I figure that I'll also have to switch transmissions. If I found an f-150 with 5.0 in it would I be able to take both the engine and transmission or would I have to find a different one?
I'm not too mechanically savvy, but I know enough and have good enough friends that I should be able to pull it off. However the engine swap is a project for down the road.
Any help is appreciated!
