Not sure if shifter is installed properly
Ok, I guess its going to be a not too obvious solution then. All we have to do is find it...
1.What type of gear shifter is in your truck. Column or tower
2. Is the tail shaft turning when you try to move the vehicle
3. Does the vehicle try to move at all
4. Is there any noise from the gearbox or clutch area
5. Are you certain the clutch kit was the right one
6. Did you try the clutch plate on the gearbox input shaft spline
7. Is the release bearing clear of the pressure plate fingers.
8. Does the release bearing carrier slide freely on the retainer on the front of the bearbox, and did you apply lubricant here.
Transmission fluid stick
No the manual transmisson does not have a stick. on the transmisson their are two plugs. One for draining and one for filling. In order to check the fluid, pull the higher plug out and feel with a finger in that hole for fluid. To set the level to the correct level you would need to drain and refill the trans. If no leaks are present you should be OK
Reset throttle position sensor on 87 ford ranger
Ok in the Haynes Repair Manual it say that the TPS sensor is non adjustable on a ranger. Now if you have an adjustable one you have a TPS block that you use to set this sensor. The best bet is to line up the slot in the TPS with the blade on the throttle shart.

How do i remove the fan and pulley on a 1987 ford ranger 2.9 v-6?
The question is: How remove clutch in order to remove fan mounted on its engine-side face.
- Generally, the clutch drive half shaft must be uncoupled from coolant pump (impeller drive) half shaft using special wrench kit available as loaner from AutoZone (free with $79 approx deposit).
- Best done after shroud & radiator remove after coolant drained.
- Uncouple coolant pump and fan clutch drive shaft(s) as follows:
- span across combo-pulley-sheaves-unit mounting bolt heads with large tool kit wrench, and
- span inline clutch coupling nut with small tool kit wrench. Then,
- turn small wrench (and coupling nut) CW while resisting with large wrench (CCW) to turn coupling nut until disengaged from coolant pump drive shaft.
- Remove fan/clutch assembly.
- Note direction of mounted fan hub and fan blades orientation to ensure proper re-assembly.
- On rear of clutch assy, remove 4 bolts to disengage and remove fan.
- Assemble new fan to clutch (or, preferably, new clutch and new fan) using new bolts and washers provided with fan.
- Couple fan-clutch assy to coolant pump drive shaft as per opposite of uncoupling step 1, above. (Turn inline nut CCW to tighten...30 ft-lb.
- Check that fan can be hand turned...CW.)
- Rest shroud over and onto fan.
- Replace radiator; remount shroud; reclamp hoses, and refill and air purge cooling system.
Guages dont work on my ranger 1997
These questions are hard to answer without more information. It helps to know how much knowlege you have on the matter. I don't want to give you more info than you need or sound like you don't know much. But I will try to cover as much as I can. Did you check the fuses under the dash and under the hood, one could be blown. You could pull the dash panel out and see if the plugs on the back are making good contact. If need be you could replace the instrument panel with one from a junk yard. Behind the right kick panel in the cab, the onboard computer located there. check the plug to see if the it is making good contact. These models have been known to rust through from the out side and water can get in through the fender well. Check the grounds on from the engine to the body, located at the back of the engine, It is usually a braided copper or brass wire from the engine block to the body.
I hope this helps you in some way. Good Luck.
