Unread post by Taly » Tue Mar 12, 2013 5:35 pm

I need a simple automatic transmission for ford ranger 2005 but I do not know what other cars I can get that transmission.
you will be able to give me a cross reference to the transmission?
The engine is the 3.0
and automatic transmission is not 4x4.

i ask to de yonkyard but not told me what vehicles have the same transmission.

We don't have access to any cross reference information for Fords, but more than likely you're going to need to find another trans from a Ranger truck to work well in your Ranger truck. Why try to find something similar when you can just get what you need from the same vehicle?

transmission gear problem- 1998 ford mustang

Unread post by jessdawn84 » Fri May 17, 2013 1:05 am

1998 Ford Mustang V6 3.8L, last few weeks gears are harder to change, & throw out bearings are whistling. Then went to reverse out driveway & was stuck in reverse finally turned car off and then put it into gear and it was so hard to change gears. Couldn't drive car for like an hour went to try again and it was like it never happened! Drove fine yesterday and most of today then this evening same problem again? I had a couple people tell me if it was the clutch it would just drop to floor when you mashed the gear but that's not the case! Then this evening on way to leave I see this long hair like stuff coming from exhaust? Please help, Im really confused and don't have any men around for advice without trying to take advantage of the fact that im a female! Thanks so much!

Well, you have two issues here....the first being the 'hair like' stuff coming out of the exhaust. This is the lining of the inside of the exhaust that is coming out. I've seen this a few times and basically you can just pull it all out, or cut it off until it comes out more and repeat. It won't affect anything not being there, but some people have gotten their exhaust system replaced when this happens...it's all a personal choice.

The second problem, with the trans, is a bit more tricky. Since it seems to come and go, it really could be anything from a clutch, throwout bearing, shifter, or internal gear/synchro problem. It's very hard to tell without getting into it. This would be a problem you really need to have a trans guy take for a drive, or show the hard shifting problem to. It could be something simple and inexpensive, or it could be a very expensive trans repair.
