Ping when shifting to/from Reverse or Drive
I have a 2000 Ranger XLT 4x4 ext cab and have used this site many times for various reasons but this is my first post.
Everytime I shift into Drive or Reverse I get a sharp metal-to-metal PING upon acceleration. It also occurs if I am in Drive and accelerate hard from a stop. Never pings from a hard acceleration while moving. Not sure if it is the transmission, transfer case or differential. Tranny fluid is good and changed regularly.Transfer case is good and has been looked at recently but no problems found. What gives?
