97 Auto transmission problems.

[brinker88]

My old man has a 97 ranger Rwd w/ a 4.0L OHV. We had the transmission overhauled 5 years ago and I did a filter/fluid change a little over a year ago.

My problem is it wont shift into gear properly. It takes some fendangling (if you please) to get it to go into drive or reverse. I've checked the fluid (which is fine) and all plugs are still plugged in.

Is there any way to adjust the bands on this tranny or do you think it's a different problem?

The servo caps are on the passenger side...are they aluminum or steel?

To tell you the truth, I havent even gotten under the truck to look. I was just curious if they were adjustable. And thank you very much for that link. Do you think that might be the problem?

It is possible. It is also worth a try. Atleast if it does cure it for a whille you at least know that another rebuild is in your future.
