how many miles on vehicle, when was the transmission last serviced? usually that is typical of hardended seals in the trans, weak pump or plugged trans filter. there were a few differerent transmissions available for the year you stated. is it an e40d (electronic) etc. more info truly needed. if you look at the list of mid 94 trans technical service bulletins it may be of some help with your concern. available at

Does it also rev out or "late shift" going into second? I had a similar problem on my Explorer that was the intermediate servo piston that only cost $22 and is fairly easy to replace with the trans in the car. Its near the cat so the seal gets hard from the heat. The pan will need to be cleaned and the filter changed also. Also Rangers with the A4LD transmission.
