shifting

Hello everyone, i swapped a new 4r44e into my 98 ranger 3.0 and it only stays in first gear regardless of being in drive, 2, or 1. I replaced the valve body gaskets, shifter lever, (on the inside of the trans pan) Filter, fluid, and neutral safety switch. No matter how high i rev it, it wont...

Howdy, New to TRS, will do an intro post with pics of the project soon. Been using the site/forum as a major resource throughout the build/repair process. Truck is a new to me (april), 1994 xlt 4x4, 3.0 5spd, 260k original motor and trans (to my knowledge). It was in a million pieces from...

Hi all! I’ve got a 99 Ranger with the 3.0 automatic trans 4x4. I’m putting a new trans in and I was going to put a new neutral safety switch in when I did. The old switch is a 12 pin connector but all of the switches available are all 11 pin. Even the exact same part number as the one I pulled...

I've got a 93 ranger 5 speed 4x4. Last fall, I cracked the block on the old engine so I replaced it with a 2001 3.0 from a wrecked truck with 60,000 miles. I converted the new engine back to OBD1 since the truck is wired for a distributor. Engine fired right up on first try and I've been driving...

Hey everyone. Im having a hard shift problem in my 91 Ford Ranger. The previous owner told me the transmission and clutch have been replaced recently (well before I even bought the truck) but that doesn't mean anything to me. What does mean something to me is the fact that I'm occasionally...

The other day i took my 1995 Ford Ranger 5spd std. out to a mud pit went through it twice and was pulling out a 1500 silverado, yes i was successful the first time but the second time no i dropped the clutch a good few times trying to get a bit more speed and had no luck so i drove it up and...

ok, so i just replaced the felxplate on my 1990 ranger 2.9 v6 4x4 automatic. put everything back together, and now when i accelerate it has no power but once it gets going it starts catching up, then when it shifts into 4th it bogs down a lil bit, and it wont shift into overdrive, does anyone...

New here, and i've seen some info on this, but i just wanted to get some specifics. I have a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 4x4 Manual Extended Cab. I just bought it about a month ago. It's very difficult to put into second gear, and sometimes a bit difficult for other gears. Fluid level checked well...

ok so i have a 1990 ranger 2.9l v6 4x4 with auto trans, has a rebuilt trans in it, it sat for the winter. my problem is its not shifting right at all, i have to release the throttle to get it to shift but when i try going faster it downshifts again, warm or cold, im thinking it could be a vacuum...
