OOPS! should say 4R44E, I think.
Six weeks ago, son's Ranger suddenly wouldn't shift past 2nd. Also, speedo went dead, and overdrive light flashing. Took to local tranny shop and got talked into complete rebuild.
Same problem came up on way home from shop. Took it back and a few days later picked it up again. Same problem after 1 day. Took it back and they kept for a week.
They say the trans is perfect. They say they replaced the internal wiring harness. They say they found some bad wires in (maybe different) harness somewhere. Then, they say they fixed some wire behind the radio. Took it home, and it ran fine for 2 weeks around town.
Son went out of town (100 miles) last night, and now he is stuck with it doing same thing again!
Tired of these bozos at trans shop. Thinking of taking them to small claims.
They say trans is fine, and we have a wiring issue. Any suggestions on what to do? Temp fix so he can get home, or permanent fix? Do you think putting in a new computer might help?
Trans shop claims to have replaced sensor on rear end, but I didn't actually check.
