I Have a 99 ranger 2wd 3.0 with 285k miles. The transmission was replaced once before but mileage is unknown.
My transmission was shifting hard and I decided to replace the fluid and filter (yes l know it's not recommended at high mileage).
With new fluid it now shifts very smooth, but on a cold start I have to give it gas for it to get into drive or reverse. Also when cold it will slip out of drive and into neutral when driving.
Once warmed up there are no slipping issues. Any suggestions on what to check?
