I searched a few pages back with nothing close. Maybe this is a rarity that I'm having some trouble with this tranny?...
Anyways this truck has been giving me quite a few problems lately...balljoints, fuel pump, filters, tuneups, iac, maf...
The transmission recently stopped going into gear at all. I was told the slave cylinder was to blame even though no fluid was being lost. I had a buddy who works at a dealership replace it.
Although the trans shifts again it still doesn't like going through the gears smoothly. The worst is 2-3. It doesn't really grind but takes a second to enter the gear. Sometimes it will nick a gear too...but its kinda random which gear will nick.
Also sometimes (more rarely) it will shift smooth as butter, but only for a couple gears.
Could this be the synchros going out? If so how much would it be for a rebuild kit?
BTW the truck is a 1999 Ranger 4.0 5spd 4x4 with 130k. I've never changed the fluid in this trans either...
Thanks for any input! I'm getting kinda burnt out with this truck
