Rockledge,

Thank you for your posts on this CMP/synchronizer problem. I was able to fix this problem and get that engine code off my '95 Ranger (after driving 100 miles) because of this thread and your responses. It makes me proud to own a Ford p/u!

PS. I couldn't find that synchronizer alignment tool, but was able to bend an aluminum can tab and wedge it in the new one to keep it from moving.

Cheers!
