it makes a whinning sound when I put it in any gear and hit the gas, so i imagine its a worst case scenario. would it be better to rebuild or buy a salvage tranny. which do you think would be cheaper?

'06 Ranger 4x4 Drive Train Slap by jshap1

I purchased a used Ranger from a dealer with 30k miles. I notice if I start out slow that there seems to be a slight slap or klunk sound from the rear. I really notice it if I back up then change gears to move forward. The dealer says this is normal and that drive train has some slippage to increase it's life. Anyone heard of this?

The splines on the drive shaft probably need some lube. The drive shaft will have to be taken down and the front splines pulled out of the tranny, and some grease put on the splines.
 
Or, my extended cab Ranger had a 'split' drive shaft. There were two separate shafts, front and rear, with s bearing in the center. This bearing may be your problem, or the mount it rides in.

I got the Ford extended bumper to bumper warranty but the service dept says this is a "normal" behavior. When you did that repair did your Ranger continue to have this clunking feeling? What should it feel like under normal conditions?

I never had this problem with my 94 Ranger.
 
Driveline 'clunk' is a long-time problem, especailly with Ford products. Some older pickups even had a grease zerk on the spline. Grease on splines helps many times.

I have a 1983 Ford Ranger 2.2 L Diesel with a 4 speed manual transmission. Is there a 5 speed that will bolt in place with out modification?

So I am trying to figure out if this is normal or abnormal. Does anyone know?

In my opinion, it's not normal, but also not unusual.

Manual transmission 101. Your transmission is bad and needs to be opened up
an looked at.

Rather extreme. It could just need some grease on the spline.
 
Or maybe even a U joint in bad shape.
