I own a 1992 Ford Ranger 6 cylinder 4 speed + overdrive.  It sometimes will go into reverse just fine and at others it shifts into reverse but when you let up on the clutch nothing happens the truck remains in neutral and a very loud grinding occurs. You can feel this grinding in the shifter knob.  It now occasionally does this between gears however the sound goes away when accelerating or stopped, it only seems to happen when decelerating or reverse.  I drained the tranny oil and replaced. No luck.  It tends to be fine when it is cold, however gets increasingly difficult when the truck has been driven for a bit.  I've talked around trying to gain advice, some people say the tranny's gone others tell me its a bearing on my clutch.  I have never had a truck that grinds and whines at me so I'm not sure what to think and would like some other people's opinions before dropping my tranny. thanks.
