I just a 1997 Ford Ranger Reg Cab XLT 4x4 w/ Automatic Overdrive transmission (not sure of the numbers.) It has the 4.0L V6, w/ the OD button on the shifter and push button (actually twist) 4x4. It has few hard shifts. It shifts hard start off from a start, and also from first to second. It shifts fine from 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th. It also has a hard shift from 4th to 5th intermittantly. It also seems to have a hard shift about a second or two after I stop at a stop sign/signal. It has been sitting for approximately 6 months. It was started once a week, but not driven. I am thinking that it may be a sticking valve or something. I wanted to know if anyone agrees and if draining the fluid (knowing it all won't get drained) and changing the filter will solve the problem. Also, I checked the fluid yesterday and it looks like it may be overfilled. Just wondering if either of these could cause the problem. I would appreciate any solutions.
Thanks
