Hey!
Back in November, I got an AMAZING deal and bought my '96 Ranger for $1,000, with only 84,000 miles on it. It has no rust and I completely restored all of the interior. From November to May, the mileage jumped up to 123,000. I pile the miles on because I worked on two presidential campaigns which required tons of driving per day. I've kept this truck perfectly maintained, the first problem has been the transmission.
It started when, one day, I went to leave for work and my truck wouldn't go in reverse. This lasted for about a month and a half. Then, another morning, it started to go in reverse, but will no longer go forward.
I'm a poor college student, so I'm hoping that something can be done instead of rebuilding the transmission. Do any of you know if, from what I described, I'm screwed and have to fork out the money, or could I try a few things first?
Thanks!
