Hello all! I have a 1990 Ford Ranger (v6 2.3l) and this has been happening since I aquired the vehicle. I go to accelerate and it won't kick into a lower gear until I let off the gas. A friend of mine was riding with me and said it was a "kick-down" cable. My Haynes manual says that my model isn't equiped with an adjustable one.. but a fixed one (it isn't mounted on the throttle) He suggested it might have come loose inside the transmission and removing the transmission pan cover I should be able to see it and reconnect it. Does that sound plausible? Is there anything else I should check before attempting that? I appreciate it!!!
