Transmission problem..............your opinion
Well I just did a tranny fluid change about 2 weeks ago. And this problem was doing this even before i changed the fluid. When i start from a stand still it goes from first to second gear smooth but when it goes to 2nd to 3rd i get a high rev right before going into 3rd.(Goes up about 500rpms) and than drops down into 3rd and i get a big ass kick sometimes that will jerk the whole truck. I play with the throttle most of the time so i wont get a kick. Meaning if it goes to that high rev i will let go of the gas totally and press it again to try a smoother shift. It does it when it wants to.
1996, ford ranger stx, ext cab, automatic tranny *And yes I do have a solid aluinummmmmm driveshaft, no 2 piece crap.* |
not even a titter huh?

Adjust the bands?? That would be my first guess, other than that I don't know...
|

Shane here is a right up that Griggs did awhile back about how to adjust the bands.

its kinda funny because mine seems to do the same thing i also have automatic trans.
|
mine did that for a while then ford issued a recall on the fluid they put in. Went there and the put an additive in and the problem was solved.
|
I had the same thing happen a few months back and it was some of the small clutches inside the transmission that were sticking. I just replaced the transmission since it was gonna take a teardown and rebuild anyway to fix.

okkkkk...um ello? |
ok first step is first, more questions will follow........ guys i really need help here for those of you that know about adjusting the bands. I have a picture on what I (THINK) I have to adjust, I need someone to let me know if this is correct:
|
Its called 2-3 flare. A shift kit may help. It can also be a sign of a failing EPC.
My quote unquote eBay rebuild does it really bad when its hot. I have yet to adjust the bands. |
shouldn't i try this fix first since it won't cost me but time?
|
anyone..............?
|
yes, those are the adjusters for the bands. Adjust those per the steps in the how-to posted.
I couldn't tell you if that will solve your problem but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

You can adjust them if you want. Wont hurt anything.
IMO shift kit and replace the EPC, they have been known to do that. read this http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...d.php?t=140987 |
Thank You Brant and Zach for giving me some correct info on here. Im just trying to figure out if I got the right location part down first. I'll try to adjust the bands first, Zach the way that looks I may be better off ( feeling more comfortable) Taking it to a shop to get the shift kit replacted. Lots of little parts from what I'm seeing........?
