ok 2 things. 1st- when I drive long hwy distance- my transmission makes a hissing noice (rather a long hissssssssss) when I down shift from 5th to 4th (as I am slowing down) Sometimes it will do it downshifting from 4th to 3rd also. Any idea what that could be?
Truck info: 1997 ford ranger XLT, 2.3L 5 speed 2 wd.
2nd thing. I just changed my tranny fluid (Mercon V) I did not over fill it. But now when the truck does the above (hissss on downshifts) I smell the tranny fluid in the air, hich soon didpates, but for that brief second or two it almost smells like cat piss.
Any thought???
Much appreciate the help!
