it's a 5r44e transmission either that or a 4r44e
its in an automatic 1998 ranger with the 2.5L
I'm a little afraid to open up the transmission because I don't want to screw it up, I'm going to do a transmission flush after. I mess around down there while I have the thing opened...and fluid might be draining anyways. (Going to use an oil catch but dunno if that will be large enough..
Anyways..does anyone have advice or pictures of from some helpful repairs?
And how can i tell which solenoid is the solenoid that shifts from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd (Seems to be where it is shifting roughly the worst)
Also any advice on what to look for once I get this thing opened...
How can I test whether a solenoid is functioning properly?
Also..i've looked for kinks in the electrical, or pieces that might be malfunctioning on the outside but I haven't found any. I could be looking in the wrong places though, where are some spots for me to look?
I read on one website it is very rare for a solenoid to break or stop working on these transmissions.

Pretty much the only helpful website I could find and I dont understand half of what it is saying.
