need some help

[94rangerx]

i have a 94 ranger 3.0 automatic, ive just started having problems with it.
first the trans fluid started disappearing didn't have no leaks or anything found out it was the vacuum modulator and replaced it and the fluid and filter, that fixed that then just a couple days after replacing that it started slipping from 2nd to 3rd, and now when driving 1st and 2nd shift fine it wont shift into 3rd or od until u let off of gas u can feel it shift but when u press back down on gas it wont pick up speed until it reaches about 5000 rpm the fluid level is fine and doesn't smell burn't or anything, any suggestions?

That new modulator may need adjusted. It could also be a vacuum problem.

Etc. You may need to adjust the bands, replace the governor, or even a valve body problem. Search over there and read up. You sound like you "have a clue" mechanically. I'm not discouraging you from seeking help here, but the auto tranny tech is really good over there since so many more Ex's were made, and with auto transmissions. I don't do automatics, but I read a lot when I had a 99 Ex (with tranny issues).

Good luck.
