Should have 3 bolts attaching it to the bellhousing, 1 or 2 may be possible to remove from under the hood but 3rd will most likely require u getting under the vehicle to remove. Good luck
attached to your transmission
First, you will want to disconnect the battery cables from the battery. Next go to your starter which will be under the truck at the front of the transmission. You will need to unbolt the starter from the transmission and disconnect the electrical wires from the starter. Remember where each wire goes to, then replace new starter by going in reverse.
In my 2002 ranger, the starter is bolted to the bell housing on the driver's side of the transmission. there are two 15mm bolts holding it in.
On your 1992 Ford Ranger , 4.0 liter : The starter should be on the drivers side of the engine , low down , where the transmission bolts to the rear of the engine
take the transmission out and it is behind the clutch. It is the plate with all of the teeth. That is what your starter grabs on to to start the vehicle. Hope this helps. Clay Colorado
On the 4.0 liter ( OHV ) the starter is on the driver's side of the engine , low down , where the transmission is bolted to the engine
Remove the starter power wire from the battery that goes to starter. Starter is between the transmission and engine. Remove the 3 bolts from the starter to the transhousing. Replace new starter re-install the power wire.:) Disconnect the battery first!!! Also, besides the battery cable there should also be a starter switch wire (probably a spade connection).
Remove the Ford Ranger automatic transmission drain plug. The drain plug is in the bottom of the transmission. Allow the oil to drain out and replace the plug. Fill the transmission with new transmission fluid.

Check and or replace your starter solenoid.
There are two plugs on the side of the transmission. Remove the lower plug to drain and refill in the upper plug. Also, this transmission uses automatic transmission fluid (ATF) not the heavy 90W oil that older models used.
its usually on the right side between the engine and transmission, 3 bolts hold it on
