Not sure if my Transmission is Slipping in 2nd gear while in over drive? 1994 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0.
My transmission just started feeling like it may be slipping in 2nd gear overdrive when I throttle above 2500 RPM. (I have not checked to see if this happens in normal drive yet but will update in the thread) If I don’t go over 2500rpm the gear shifts fine and does not have the problem in any other gear. When I am accelerating and get to 2500rpm, it feels like it stops accelerating completely and does not shift until I let off the gas. I have an A4LD auto transmission. 140k miles. I was reading this issue is common in these transmissions but did not figure out what the culprit is. Some people mentioned the transmission modulator, some mentioned the clutch as a possibility but I am wondering if there is any knowledge on what the exact thing that needs to be fixed is when this issue pops up on these transmissions. I am going to change the filter and trans fluid and see if that will help, but I’m sure it won’t completely fix it…
