Default got a few problems, pleaseee help

1995 f150 4x4 5spd.....
1. between the snow and the hills here at school my tranny is effing up. its hard to get it in gear... i legitimately have to jam it in, but when the truck is off it slides into a gear no problem.

2. I am hearing a lot of road noise coming from my right front hub and i frequently will hear grinding at 30+ mph

and 3. My turning radius to the right side is garbage.. but the turning to the left is fine? i bought it lifted w/ 35's and having to make 8pt turns is starting to get really old hah

please if anyone can help id be really appreciative

How high is the idle? High idle in a cold trans will tend to make it a little hard to get into first

Take the hub apart and see if the bearing is bad or the 4x4 hub is sticking

Turn to the right and see if it hits the stop on the spindle, if not see if anything is binding such as the drag link hitting other steering components.

you can probably bet that your clutch is going to need to be rebuilt sounds like slave or master cylinder. sister's 99 ranger had the same thing, $1200 fix
