So the problem is when i let the clutch out (in gear or not) there's a rattling sound coming from the tranny about where the throw out bearing is. I susspect that this is the culprit but it may be due to extremly cold weather (The low was 0 F today) I've been hearing this sound for a couple weeks now, but it was allways just a little bit of a vibrating noise then it would quit after the truck had ran for about 3 mins. My tranny is leaking just enough to cover the back half of the case on the bottom but doesnt drip on the ground if you let it sit. I replaced and filled it full with fluid about 3,000 miles ago so it should be pretty full still. I first started hearing it after I replaced my headgaskets but I dont think this has anything to do with it. It is now a constant rattling and vibrating noise like the bearing is dry or busted. It also whines really bad in 1st-3rd gears and probably in 4th and 5th too but I haven't got it that fast due to the extremly poor road conditions (Snow). There isn't too much clanging around just a fast vibrating noise. What could this possibly be and what parts do you think that i would need. I think that I'm going to need a Throw out bearing, gasket kit, Fluid, and while I'm in there I might as well replace the clutch, clutch plate possibly, face the fly wheel, and replace the slave cylnder. Can you think of anything else? And what clutch do you guys reccomend for daily driver and offroad use ( Woods lanes, fields, med. to light towing?) Not SERIOUS wheeling but it see's mud on a weekly basis. Also what Transmission does this model have? It's a 1994 Ford Ranger 4x4 5 speed V-6 3.0L Manual lockouts 3.73 gears 31x9.5xR15 Timberline M/T's
Thanks, I need to get this fixed before the middle to end of next week, and I'm doing the work myself, is why I'm in a hurry.
