Loud screeching noise from my truck, clutch?
Hello,
I have a 96 ranger 5-speed, 4cylinder. recently the transmission has been locking up to the point that i cant drive it and im considering fixing that. the other day i drove it a few blocks and it finally became impossible to drive. it's done this before and i replaced the brake fluid and it worked after a few weeks, maybe after all the air got out of the system.
i was driving and at a stop sign, i put it back into gear and then it seemed like something broke. from then on the clutch became squishy and pretty much on the floor. i couldn't shift anymore, and could only get it into gear when the engine was off.
but what is curious is the screeching noise that came with all of this. is it the throw out bearing making that noise? it makes the noise whether or not im in gear.
i can start the truck just fine, but can't drive it really and there is this loud screeching coming from it.
any ideas? sorry if this has been discussed before!
