As the title says my 07' ranger( with 60000mi) has a sort of long delay when shifting from park to drive or reverse. it take a good few seconds to go into drive. is this normal with these trucks? seems worse when colder but still longer delay then any other vehicle i've had. any one elses ranger like this??

 

Common design flaw, also gets worse when there is internal leakage of the valve body.

 

Is your fluid low?

 

ya fluid is good. been keeping my eye on it but not low. ok well i feel little better if its common.

 

If you are low on fluid usually you will notice issues going into 3rd under moderate throttle.
