Hi
I need some help here !
I bought a 1996 Ford Ranger Ranger 4wd with the extended cab,4 liter engine.
I bought the truck about 3 years ago and haven driven the truck but about 500 miles a year(only when fishing or hunting).
The truck has had a shifting issue since I first bought it ,the Trans will shift ok sometimes but when it gets warm after about a mile of driving with 2 or 3 shift series it will rev up several hundred RPMS and then shift.
Does not seem to matter whether I shift the trans by hand or just let it shift.
It seems to shift better when its cold outside !
Almost forgot sometimes when first started and I put it in gear it will take a few seconds to go into gear.
I had the trans fluid and filter changed shortly after I got the truck and that did not seem to help anything.
I am not a mechanic and on a fixed income and dont want to pay for a trans rebuild when it might be something simple.
I would really appreciate a Diagnosis .
Thanks
Billy
