Hi. I just bought a 2006 Ranger Sport, 3L, V6, 2WD. I'm having a HELL of a problem with it stalling when I come to stops, about 40% of the time. As I start getting almost to the stop, it's like the transmission wants to keep pushing the truck forward, not disengaging, instead of settling in at the normal idle. If I catch it in time, I can shift to Neutral and the idle will maintain as I stop, but as soon as I shift back into DRIVE, it'll still STALL. I've discovered that I CAN shift into REVERSE and it doesn't stall, but even after doing that, as soon as I go back to DRIVE, the revs drop, the truck shudders some, and stalls.
Every time this happens, I have to go to neutral or park, turn the ignition off, then re-start the truck, at which point I can go back into drive and carry on. (until the NEXT time) Turning OFF, then back ON, seems to "re-set" it, somehow.
This is becoming QUITE an issue. Really hoping someone, here, can have a really good feel for what's happening and maybe point me in the right direction for a fix. I'd be absolutely delighted to answer any questions anyone might have, if I can, that'll help.
