New to me '97 Ranger w/ trans problem
Hi, been quite awhile since I've been on here, I sold my '98 two years ago. I just picked up for a very cheap price, a '97 2wd reg cab, 3.0v6 auto. Has a 3" lift on it, tool box, etc, not a bad little truck. It runs real good, but has 180k on the clok. The reason I got it cheap is because when the truck sits overnight, the next morning the tranmission slips between 1st and 2nd until everything gets up to operating temp, then it shifts just fine.
1st, what trans is in this truck?
2nd, any idea if this could be a fairly easy fix?
Or, should I just throw a used transmission in there?
Thanks!
