No third on 93 5 speed???
Hi, new to the board here, I just picked up a 93 ranger 4x4 ext cab with the 4.0 V6 and the five speed(m5r1). At least it was a five speed. If you try to put it in third it will just grind momentarily and then it's like your pushing on a wall. It will not go in no matter what you do. Also if the truck is sitting, running or not, you cannot put it in 3rd. There is no give at all, just like pushing on a wall with the shifter. It happend to the guy who owned it before me about a year and a half ago,since he put 20k on the trans, it drives great in all the other gears, no other problems at all.
Any thoughts??? anyone else have this happen??? I am going to pull the trans out in a few weeks, I'm just split between replacing the whole trans($700 w/12month plus $250 for clutch & slave), pulling apart and looking for problem, or just running it for now, it's not my main vehicle, just for moving my "toys" around. Plus I got it for nothing , came along with the sale of my 97 f150. HEHE-good deal hey.
Thanks
Mike

This isnt going to help any but the early 90's had bad trannys my uncle went through the same thing you did it wasnt shifting into third re built it still didnt work... so he bought and destroyed 3 more transmissions before he sold it to a scrap yard and got a 87 f-250 never did figure out what the problem was but I never really got to look at it.
