1995 Ford Ranger
4.0OHV engine (6)
4R55E Transmission
4x4
Supercab
I have had this transmission rebuilt 2 times at the dealer and once by a very good transmission shop. Change trans fluid regularly (15K) and have added external cooler (by trans shop).
No matter what I do I can only get about 70K mi out of a transmission. Highway driving not fast or any off-road. Use 4x about 2 times a year to get into my mountain cabin, less than a mile each year, during snow only.
Starts slipping on upshift from 1-2 and 2-3
Do you have any ideas? I intend on keeping the vehicle.
Thank you,
Jack
