I have a 2003 Ranger Edge 4.0L 4x4 with 203k miles on it
Recently developed a 3-4 shift flare and intermittent flashing O/D light
Used ForScan and pulled 3 codes
P0733 - Transmission Gear #3 incorrect ratio
P0734 - Transmission Gear #4 incorrect ratio
P0741 - TCC system performance Torque converter slip detected
I have had the truck for about 12000 miles, prior history is unknown. When I got it I dropped the pan and changed the fluid/filter. Fluid was old, not burnt or gritty. No metal in the pan at that time, only sludge/wear particles from the clutches. Cleaned out the pan and new fluid. Ran/shifted fine until a few days ago. Otherwise the truck runs perfectly and seems to have been maintained. I bought it from the original owner.
I don't have a bunch of money to put a new tranny in it. Before I get too far I have a couple of questions.
Can incorrect band tension cause the above issues?
It seems these trannys have issues with the valve body gaskets. Is that a potential cause of the issues/codes?
I have reverse, and other than the flare that just developed there seems to be no change in the trannys behavior.
Its an old truck, swapping the trans will be a colossal PITA. My hope is I can fix the trans in the truck.
Been lurking on the forum for a long time, but this is my first post.
Any help is appreciated
Dave
