transmission

Hey ya'll First post here, but been lurking ever since I got my truck. 99' Ranger 2.5L with the M5OD-R1 I've had for 10 months now. I learned standard transmission on this unit but I feel like when I was learning it shifted pretty smoothly but that could be irrelevant. Once I was comfortable...

Is there any kind of consensus on the best brand of reman transmissions? It looks like Napa and Auto Parts Warehouse use Pro-King, and AutoZone seems to source from Zumbrota Bearing and Gear. Does anyone have experience with these brands? I am correct in assuming that a remanufactured trans...

Hi guys I have a question for ya'll. I thought my clutch was slipping at first but now I'm a little stumped. The truck runs well, the engine was rebuilt about 40k miles ago. What happens is is when I go to start out, it's a little jerky, which is normal if you dont know how to start out with a...

I just rebuilt my tranny with an overhaul kit and put new hubs/sliders in. After downloading the bench manual for this trans from trs I got to torquing down the front and rear bearing retainer plates and after that I could force the shaft to turn but it was by no means spinning freely. I am...

Sooooo i was installing a new Hurst short shifter into my tranny today and when i was gonna bolt on the base plate i dropped and bolt into the gearbox and it was lost into oblivion. Yes i ignored the part about covering the shifter hole, i stuck a magnet in There drained and poured the fluid a...

I want to start by saying it's been YEARS since I've been here, but I'm finally back in a ranger and I'm glad to be back.:yahoo: I scored a free 302 from a 78 Mustang Cobra that I'm going to be tearing apart, rebuilding and putting in my truck. I want to be pushing about 350 horse at the...

Okay guy and gals, I have a question. I am new to therangerstation and am hoping someone has an answer or easier solution to the project I have going on. Here are the facts: I have the 96 Ranger 3.0 with the standard tranny and 4WD. I purchased a 99 explorer 5.0 and kept the engine, tranny and...

Hello everyone. I am a new owner of a 1995 2.3 2WD 5 speed Ranger Super cab. bought from a dealer fairly cheap, but needs more work than I thought. I plan on making this my daily driver. My 2011 RAM has 164k miles and is killing me in gas. Really like this little Ranger, but I have to pull...

I have a 2001 Ranger 4.0L 4X4 with a M50D-R1HD. A few years ago, I broke the 2nd gear in my transmission. I could probably rebuild it but it has 180,000 miles and Im sure the other gears are just as tired. Ive been trying to find a replacement but everywhere I go, I get asked what my input...

I need to find a crossmember for my transmission but I'm having trouble finding any online. My truck is a 1988 STX with 4X4 and a manual transmission. I'm not sure which one though. Does anybody know where I could find them online? If I need to go to the junk yard which models should I be...

I have 96 4.0 4wd, transmission went out, so I found a 95 ranger with same size engine but it's 2wd, if I swap it will I lose the 4wd, if so can I somehow make it 4 wd,

Hello, I have a 1984 Ranger with a slipping transmission. My mechanic told me that I need a new one. Given that it's a C3, I was considering a swap with a C5 if possible. I read in a forum post that a C3 to C5 conversion is possible and will fit the truck without any adapters, etc. I'm new to...

I need to change my tranny fluid. Looks/smells like the previous owner filled it with gear oil rather than ATF(it's leaking from the shift rail plugs). The fill plug is totally mangled and torqued on there like crazy. I don't have the tools or money to pay someone to remove it. Is the small bolt...

Hi there! I've just gotten a 1996 Ford Ranger 2.3l with 240k miles about a week ago, I got it by trading one of my flat screen TV's. :icon_rofl: When inspecting the truck for the first time, it ran good, I took the trade and drove 120 miles back to where I live. It drove great, no issues it...

Hi fellas, My AL4D is pretty fine except at "coldstarts" being slightly slow to engage. Still as preventative maintenance and to squeeze out some better performance I'm planning on getting a shift kit and new filter. 2 questions: 1: will these parts be all I need next to the tools...

My 94 Ranger 4.0L 4x4 runs like a beast... until I put it in Park... it dies, then when trying to restart it, it acts like it's flooded...when it finally starts, it chugs like a train and spits black smoke. Before you say that it's the fuel pressure regulator, it's not. Something to do with...

Hello all. I recently completed my ranger v8 swap. Thread is in my signature. The motor I built runs great and is tuned in, however when I drive, the truck will not leave 1st gear. I have solid reverse and forward gears. I can put it into 2nd manually after going, but when I put it into drive...
