The transmission in my 99 3.0 Ranger sport has been on its way out for a while. the problem started with it slipping while taking off from a stop in drive, and a 2-3 flare. I changed the filter and fluid and this helped out for a while. One day while driving, the thermostat stuck and the engine got a little warmer than it should. Ever since this happened, the truck will drive forward no matter if you put the shifter in neutral, reverse, or whatever. Even in park, the truck wants to move forward but it has the brake holding it. The truck still will drive forward and change gears if shifted manually, though 2-3 and 3-4 still flare. Anyone have any suggestions as to what the main cause of this problem could be?
I'm considering my options right now: rebuild or replace. If I rebuild I really want to make sure that if I take the time and money to do it that it fixes the problem. Hopefully someone on here will have some good advice as to what's wrong with this tranny.............. thanks in advance!
