AMW Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 My 04 plate 2.5 turbo Ranger will not stay in fifth gear just pop straight out Ok in all the other gears. No noise or vibration. Any one had this problem? Andrew http://a-m-ward.blogspot.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sounds to me like a synchro issue, either way unless you are exceptional with a spanner, I would say get it in to a garage, probably best its a transmission specialist...

AMW Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Not good news total rebuild required (£1000) not including the labour to remove and refit the gearbox. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMW Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well she is back plus new gear box came to £1500 all in. Sad that a truck with such low millage eneded up need a new gear box :o Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 That's a price and a half... Hopefully it will last you a lifetime now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMW Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I hope so although I am considered a new pick up soon just not sure it will be a Ford after this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
