Ranger Tranny Humming Bad!!!

[Cowboy112]

My 94 Ranger with 4.0 and auto trans is making a bad humming noise..example (It sounds like a tire rubbing on a fender or something). I just replaced the Carrier bearing about 2 months ago so im pretty sure it's not that plus it sounds more like the tranny. Im having a hard time finding the problem because it's hard to trace the sound anyone got any ideas??? Kinda makes a ringing noise to like something is loose.. I would love to just replace the tranny but don't wanna spend a bunch of $$$$ Anyone know who has a auto trans for this truck?

Does it only make noise when its moving, or when its stopped and in drive also?

when im driving only... Actually as im taking off but then it will stop.. Then when i let off the gas and im slowing down it will hummm..????

Check your tranny mounts, then check your motor mounts, before you blame tranny's internals.

Get it up on a rack or some jackstands where you can SAFELY get under the truck with it running (in gear).
