So I acquired an 87 ranger with "transmission problems" I was told it didn't go into drive but went into reverse. So I adjusted the bands and reverse works great. After many tries (torque wrench won't fit onto the 5/16 square nut) we finally got it rolling forward. at first it was lots of gas and then it'd roll a little when I let off, now it'll go in reverse, then I put it in drive and after a second or 2 it goes forward, seemingly no problems. 2 questions
Does this sound like I fixed it correctly?
Do you for see any problems in the immediate future?
It's on a non op, so I can't legally drive it out of my drive way, and I can only get a "day pass" to smog it. I have to do the timing and a tune up before I go smog it(sat for a few years, blowing a lot of smoke but it's looking better the more it runs) I'm just curious if I get it into second gear is it going to crap out. If not what about the rest of the gears?(was told the "high gears work fine" when I bought it)
Let me know what you think, I'm probably going to have to just try it I imagine but hopefully I can get some opinions first =p Can't do anything till Thursday/Friday either way. Thanks =)
