My 94 Ranger XLT clutch locked up and the mechanic said that the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and another part needed replaced, so I did. The day I picked it up, first gear was still grinding, the mechanic said it would work it self out, probably air in the line or things needed to get well greased.
About two weeks later while driving 30 mph on a city road, I heard a loud crash pop bang, I thought the transmission had hit the pavement! A puff of smoke came out from under the truck and an awful burnt smell. I kept the clutch in, due to the fact that last time my truck froze up if I had kept the clutch in we could have rolled it to the side of the road. Well, now the truck has no neutral, it drives while in neutral, but wont go into any actual gears including reverse. When I drive it in the neutral posiition it acts like first gear, and there is an occassional thump as if something is being spun around inside the tranny... Did my mechanic screw up installing the new clutch or has the transmission died? I need some advice thanks
