2002 Ranger 'clunks' while shifting
Hey guys,
First post here - gonna try to give it a shot!
I found another guy on here with a similar problem with his 2004 Ranger and the responses he got is that it's normal. I'm not quite convinced considering it's only recently just started happening with mine and I've had it for 7 years.
When depressing the clutch and pulling it out of 1st and 2nd gear there's a "Clunk" that sounds like it's coming from the transmission. It doesn't do it for 3rd, 4th, or 5th. If I really carefully ease it out of gear it doesn't happen, but I don't think that's the way it should be.
Any help would be great!

I'm no transmission expert, but my first guess is that the clutch isn't disengaging all the way. Do you have any trouble putting it into first at a stop? Does the clutch feel like it's dragging when you're in gear at a stop? In any case, it sure doesn't sound normal.

As a matter of fact, yes. Occasionally I do have a lot of trouble getting it into first gear. I have to pull back, maybe gas it a little bit then re-seat it. It doesn't happen all the time, but it is getting more frequent.

Have you checked the fluid level in the reservior for the clutch master cylinder? Its located on the firewall on the driver's side of the engine compartment firewall. If the fluid is low, check underneath the bottom of the clutch housing. You may have a slave cylinder on its way out.
