Hi all! I have a 1995 Ranger Reg Cab, 2wd 3.0 V6 with the A4LD with Overdrive. Approx 155k miles on it. Nice truck in great shape!
Today when I was taking off from a stop light, it made a rattle noise that sounded like an empty spray can being shaken...or kinda like a U joint going bad.
Then it acted like its in neutral.
Reverse does work well enough that I backed it up onto the pad outside my garage after the tow truck dropped it off.
As an ex Master Tech I am thinking the trans is toast and will also need the T.C. replaced.
I have done NO troubleshooting, its dark and starting to rain.
I did grab the driveshaft and jerk around on it and its tight.
Comments? I'm thinking this has been discussed before, but I searched the threads and didnt see it.
Thanks in advance for any help!
