Hi fellow, I am sure this question as been answered many times before but after my quick search I didn't notice any info for me. I don't have the extra time to weed thru 10+ pages of search results. Anyway, I have a 98 ext cab 2wd ranger that the trans went out in. I heard a pop one day when backing up and going into drive to take off. It did that one more time over the course of a couple days. When I returned home I have to come of this little hill and the truck barely made it the next 200ft to get into the dtive way. I lost all forward gears. If you rev it really high is will move a little bit forward. Reverse works fine. I assume this is a toasted tranny correct?
Second question I have a 97 4 cycle regular cab auto tranny that i both from my 91 y/o granddad. Motor is shot but the tranny still worked fine. My understanding from my research is that the 95-00 all pretty much the same (of is it 95-98). I know the one visible difference is the manual speedo. What is needed to put this tranny is the 98? Is it as simple as swapping over the cable and using the 98's cluster? How about changing tailhousing ( and whatever is internally used) out on the 97 to the 98? Whats my best bet? Which torque convertor would i use or does is matter?
Thanks,
Gerald
