Hi all;
My '84 Ranger 2WD w/2.8 and has the Toyo Kogyo 5 speed (oops--4 speed w/overdrive), it's approaching 200,000 miles.
It's been a reliable tranny, but I'm starting to hear some "new" sounds, so I'd like to take care of it before it leaves me stranded.
Have considered:
1. replacing with a new one
- but I can't find one
2. rebuilding the present one
- but am in sticker-shock at estimates of $1500-2000 from local tranny
shops. Apparently the Toyo Kogyo is an oldie, parts are hard to find
3. swap with a newer model
- but with what ??
Guys I'd really appreciate your help !!
