I have a '94 Ranger with the 4.0L, and an automatic. The truck now has
140,000 miles, and there have been no transmission or engine rebuilds, just regular maintenance.Recently, the tranny has started to slip when shifting from 3rd to 2nd. The transmission starts the downshift, slips a little for about a second, then
2nd will engage. It has been very annoying and I am wondering if the tranny is starting to die.Two days ago, i was coming to a stop at a light, and right before I stopped (maybe 3-4 mph) the light turned green, so I hit the gas. The tranny shuddered fairly violently as I started, like it was slipping and catching rapidly. I can reproduce this every time.
Any thoughts on how serious of a problem this may be, and what kind of cost I am looking at?
Thanks in advance, Clint
