Ford Ranger Transmission Problem?
A friend and I have been working on his 1994 Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 XLT 2wd 5-speed manual. The transmission is an M5OD-R1 and we ran into a problem. The goal is to have this moving again and turned into a rat rod before he goes to drill for the army. But, he said he was driving on the interstate and shifted into 3rd, heard a clunk now the transmission is stuck in 3rd gear. We started taking out the transmission and stripped one of the bolts (12-13mm or 1/2 inch) so bad it's a complete circle now, any ideas for that? Overall, the truck is worthless but him and I both have sentimental value to it. I mean hell, it's got 331k miles on it. Anyhow, from what I described what do you think the transmission problem could be? Shifting fork bent or broke? A rod messed up? Any ideas would be helpful.
Are you sure it's the transmission and not just the shift linkage that broke? For the bolt you could try hammering a smaller socket onto it. If it's really bad you can weld the head off another bolt onto it so you can use a socket. Worst case you can chisel the bolt head off so you can get it apart then remove the rest after it's apart.
It very well could be the linkage, I completely forgot about that. I've been working so hard on getting the transmission off I forgot. But I will certainly take a look once the transmission is out.
- Car acceleration problem and idle problem. The car is a 2003 Ford Taurus? . When the car is running and in parked its making a loud consisted rev noise. However the rpm needle thingy is not moving. when i'm in drive the car acclerates on its own with the speed ever increasing. i did some googling and learned that it can be the TPS sensor or the idle air intake valve, among a million other possiblities.
- Will a Ford Explorer transmission exchange for a ranger transmission? I have a 2002 Ford Explorer 4x4 with a 4.0 engine. The truck needs a new transmission and I was wondering if a transmission from a 2002 ranger 4x4 with a 4.0 will bolt up to the explorers.
- 2002 Ford Focus transmission problem? My focus started slipping 3rd gear I would be driving around 30mph and out of nowhere it would like slip or disengage out of gear. After that reverse went out on day out of nowhere it would engage if I kicked the gas pedal but would make the car jump really bad. I had read somewhere it might be a solenoid and to take it to autozone to scan the car Any help thanks
