Hey All,
I have a 1991 Ford Ranger 3.0. V6.
It has the original engine and original transmission.
I know very little on the mechanical side of cars (I deal with more electrical, I'm not great at it, but I'm learning as I go).
I've been fixing more electrical issues than mechanical.
Anyways the reason for this post is that when I'm going down the road, I feel the transmission jerking. If I put the truck in neutral, and rev the engine, no jerking, no engine shaking, etc.
When I have it in Park (idling), no jerking, shaking, etc.
When I have the gas pedal pressed, and just cruising down the road, I feel the transmission jerk. It gets worse in OD and the gear before OD.
I've had an issue of when it goes into 2nd gear the transmission just gives completely out. Like the truck just acts like it's in neutral for 20 seconds then 2nd gear engages.
So after this incident, I filled it with transmission fluid (no visible signs of the transmission leaking, but I do have an oil leak but can't find where).
Ever since I filled the transmission fluid, the transmission has been jerked.. Maybe there's too much fluid now?
I'm already looking at pricing for a new transmission, but I figure I ask here to see if someone can help me.
