Please Help with Ranger Tranny!!!????
OK, I just purhcased a 1990 ranger with a 4.0 from a 1994 explorer. It has an automatic transmission that seems to have a big problrm. It will not shift into 2nd or any other gear besides first. The truck will only go about 40 mph because it it stuck in first. What could the problem be. I test drove it the other day and it was fine. Could it be too much or too little fluid? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The simplified steps:
remove all wiring connectors and shift linkages
Unbolt driveshaft
Remove starter
Unbolt torque convertor from flywheel
remove 5 or so bolts holding tranny to engine
remove tranny crossmember
slide tranny back and down from truck.

Well I have some good news. It turned out to be that the vacume line for transmission modulator was not even plugged into the intake manifold. So after 12 hurs screwing around with the truck I found out it was a 2 second job. I have one more question. It does shift now but only when I let off the gas. Could this be the modulator itself needing to be replaced? Thanks
