new user here, i have been a long time user of The Ranger Station and finally decided to go ahead and sign up. I have an issue with my 2002 3.0 ford ranger xlt automatic with shaking in first gear and reverse. the idle is smooth but once i shift it to drive or reverse it will start shaking with some force. the odd thing is that once i get out of first gear the problem will go away until the truck is turned off. for example i pull out of the drive way and it shakes. i drive down the road, come to a red light and stop there, no shaking is present and i have a smooth take off and no gears slipping or anything. the problem completly goes away until the next time i turn my turn on after it has been turned off. CEL came on and i took it to get a tune up and the fuel filter was recently changed. new intake filter was put in and throttle body was cleaned. ive tried narrowing it down based on some other post i searched for but the problem still persists and i just wanted someone to shed some ideas to me so i can hopefully fix this annoying issue with the ranger. all help would be greatly appreciated and it feels good to join the ranger station family finally! thanks a lot in advance!!
