clutch problems?
I have a 96 Ranger 2.3L 5sp. I have a clacking noise that I think is coming from the clutch. It's loudest when it's Idiling, but the noise comes and goes. When its ideling and clacking the noise goes away when I push the clutch in. When I'm in drive I sometimes here the loose clackiing noise when I'm in low rpm's in third to fith gear. My cousin used to have a mazda truck he said his made the same noise, he said it's from the realease bearing of the clutch. I took it to midas they said it wasn't anything mechanical, and that it probably just needed a tune up. I didn't fall for that.
Also my sister has a 96 Ranger (But it's a 4.0L auto 4wd) and it seems to do that same noise when were driving down the highway. Hers doesn't make any noise when its ideling.
If anyone knows what this is please let me know.

I listened underneath the truck and it does seem to be coming from the transmission. In fact I think I narrowed it down to where the transmission meets the engine which I do believe is where the clutch is.

View User's Gallery to: exboxextreme sorry I didn't read your reply. Those guys at midas should have known if you push the clutch in and the noise goes away that its definately not the engine, its mechanical. I believe your buddy is right. My friend has a 2001 mustang sounds like you both have the same problem. Your throw out bearing is going if the noise goes away when you push the clutch in.
