So I have a 99 ranger xlt with a 5 inch lift and 33 inch tires on it. I let a reputable transmission company work on my transmission on my little ranger. (this company has fixed several of my previous vehicles with no problem) They had my truck for 11 months and couldn't get it to work correctly. I wanted to keep my existing transmission in that I had before, after 8 different transmissions in the vehicle the owner finally told me he was just going to put one of his in that he had. I was suppose to get a one year warranty on it and it has now been two years. With in the 2 years of having the truck I have put 452 miles on it as of today I don't drive it much just to work and back maybe twice a month. The issue im having is I have a hard jerk going from gears 1-3 and also when it down shifts from 3-1. Now some times it works like a champ and doesn't jerk at all. I took it to another transmission company last week and they did a diagnostic test on it to see what they can find. He was stumped because he had no idea what was wrong without him tearing it apart he couldn't tell me. He did say his machine hooked up was not reading anything from that transmission when he hooked up his machine. So he was saying that sometimes the abs kicks on my dash and thats when he notices the jerk more. From what he said since his machine is not getting any reading when the transmission revs up he feels like the transmission line is building up to much pressure because it doesn't know when to shift or not to shift. If anyone can please help me out with what they think or feel id greatly appreciate it. I know he did say it could be the sensor that connections to the rear end but when we unplug it and plug it back he still doesn't get any readings.
