'98 ranger noise
whenever I push on the clutch for more than a second, theres this loud grinding noise. It is loudest when in second gear and does not sound when at a stand still. I am able to change from gear to gear without problem. what is making this grinding noise and what do i have to fix?

I have the same problem with my 98 ranger. Mine has 105, 000 on it, and its been doing that forever- since probably 65000 miles. Its annoying- I thought it was the clutch, but the garage says it aint. According to them my clutch is fine (i have never had it changed yet). I still cannot figure it out- it grinds, then the front passenger side vibrates real loud. I got to do more research on it then maybe i can get it figured out-

Same- I took it to the dealer and they didnt know what i was talking about- they took it for a drive, and (of course) it never happens when you have the tech sitting in the drivers seat. After that I just kept driving, figuring I would find out sooner or later. If I ever find out I will post a reply- I have to put a new timing belt in it next weekend - we'll see what happens.

after some more research it sounds that it might be a bad bearing or a bearing going bad that is causing that sound but which one i still dont know
im gonna go have them check which bearing is causing the problem tuesday
hopefully this new information helps you as well

also you should check into it soon because they said that if that bearing does finally give out, it could cause major problems

i guess I am going to have to fork over some money then......how many miles did the clutch have? I thought I was cool doing 105 thous without a change of clutch- --
I guess I will have to take it in this weekend. Thanks for the advice, it'll really help me out- who knows what else will be wrong with it, hopefuly not much.
