2004 Ranger made a scraping noise when in 2nd gear. When clutch is depressed to disengage gears or shift, the engine idle speed increases. The consumer was informed the idle had been reset, however the transmission could not be fixed because it was a design flaw. The noise became worse over time and eventually it started to affect the 4th and 5th gears. The gear shifter was replaced and the shift pattern had a lot of play.
