My 96 x-cab, 3.0L, 5spd, 4x4 Ranger started Grinding when letting off the clutch only when I downshift @ higher speeds, or Violently jerks & bangs downshifting @ lower speeds & when I let off the accelerator.
It's got auto lock hubs & electronic shift 4wh drive. I jacked up each front corner & turned the tires individually... axles aren't turning.
I jacked up the whole truck and put it in gear... front axle is not live in 2wh drive. Put it in 4h... OK, 4l... OK (slow to engage).
The hubs do have the typical clicking in them... not too bad.
The truck upshifts fine, clutch engages fine but does have a slight "clunk" when putting it into gear.
Any ideas? I've got a good working knowledge of autos, but 4 wheel drive is new to me. Does this sound like a tranny prob or transfer case prob.
