wow this sucks.
I bought this '90 Bronco II with what I thought was a bad clutch. My suspicion was right, the clutch is the worst I've ever seen - BUT the clutch was hiding a transmission that only has 4th gear.
When I spin the input shaft in 1-3, 5, or R, I can hear a metal on metal rubbing sound and the shaft drags intermittently, output shaft does not move. The way it drags feels like the a shaft is broken and grabs whenever the break is lined up.
When I spin it in 4, I still hear the sound but the output shaft moves with the input shaft.
Is this a common thing? Does anyone have an exploded diagram of the transmission so I can start figuring out what in the world is going on?
I've had a manual transmission apart before so I'm ok with fixing it if it's a simple remove and replace sort of thing...though I'm not sure I want to get into a full rebuild with setting gear lash and washer thicknesses, etc.
