High pitched noise coming from transmission (video).

RedAngus · #1 03-06-2016, 06:31 PM

Hello!

I have a 1993 Ford Ranger, manual, 5 speed, 4WD 4.L ...

I recently had been 4 wheeling in the truck in thick snow and revving it fairly high. On the drive home i noticed a high pitched noise that follows the revs of each gear. I cannot hear it in 4th, reverse or when the clutch is pushed in.

I checked the trans fluid which was low, filled it (about 1.25L) - noise persists.

The truck still runs great, and changes gear fine. I have uploaded a video where you can hear the noise from 1st gear to 4th and back again. the truck also sounds a little funny when idling, though back to normal when the clutch is pushed in.

any ideas?!?!

thank you
