Default heeelp!! High pitched noise coming from trans/clutch (video) !!
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.

video:


any ideas? thanks

Bearings are going. Check your fluid and see if any fillings are on your drain plug. It can't hurt to change the fluid and see if you can get more time out of the bearings.
