I am also new. just bought a 85 ram 50 has 2.6 5 speed 4x4 has 123k on motor . what motor how do i know what motor i have? my trans is making a lot of noise in 1st 2nd 3rd and 5th. i can buy a new tranny and transfer case from the guy i bought the truck from but id rather have it rebuilt and know i have a good strong tranny is it hard to rebuild these and what would it cost

sounds like you may have a worn pilot bearing or pressure plate or worn out springs in your clutch im not really an expert and its hard for me to
diagnose over the computer also there is a section on this site with pdf format shop manuals they may come in handy if you decide to fix anything yourself

No that is bad bearings in the tranny and a worn end plate - common on these trannies. Parts are readily available, and not expensive.
