It was too much for her to handle. I blew my transmission. I still have reverse but no foward gear. I am hoping that it is just 1st gear though...

 

that sucks man gl with it

 

DANG! you all of a sudden have NO luck!

try draining the fluid and replacing it.....it may have sucked in some water....

you have a pretty new truck for the tranny to go!

 

Let us all have a moment of silence for Ricky's transmission

 

It's 2:18 here! I hate it when you east coasters tell me what's going to happen in the next hour before I get there!

~HJ

 

That sucks, but man, its a truck not a boat. lol

 

Try putting it in 2nd gear on the shifter... If I remember right this will by-pass 1st and force it into 2nd. Just a thought.

 

oh no, wow. All this happening within a few days too.

 

he has an auto, not stick

 

wow..that sucks ***..did you submarine it haha how man miles? ever flush it or do a complete tranny filter change??


auto or stick doesnt matter you put an auto in 2nd and it bypass's first gear trust me ive got an auto to it jsut doesnt get up and go if its in 2nd its worth a try

 

dang, that sucks, but like texasbullseye guy said, its a truck not a boat, lesson learned.......lol

 

ya hes talking about the shifter on the column, it has a 2nd and a 1st after drive, but im not sure if it will actually skip 1st........

 

^^^^ it does^^^

 

All his issues are related I am almost 100% sure.... Now is just when the symptoms are showing... But everything should be repairable... Just might cost a few $$

 

yup

but since his reverse works, i would think its the under drive gearset

 

Yup, I got her towed home by kevoo...hopefully I can just change the fluid and hope for the best. After talking with chris, I have eliminated a lot of things.

1. Tranny is not blown
2. Definetly has water in it
3. So,ething may be sticking...

 

Auto's use an electronic valve body to put it in second with no first at all fro slipery conditions. If he puts it in 2 and it doesn't move, it's more than just first


Sucks man, hope it's not too bad.

 

yea id say get a good flush ran on it with crappy fluid a few times just to get rid of the water and such then toss in some amsoil..when i switched to amsoil wow was there a shifting differece! but happy its not blown..

 

Sorry to hear about that.

If you plan on replacing, look up Kormex Transmission on EBay. Good price, fast shipping and helpful

 

x2 this is what i was tellin ya ricky lol well at least trying to lol


but yeah, after talking to him.. the trans fluid isnt black..which is a good sign

 

welcome to the lovely life of auto tran's in a ranger this is the first of many times to come that it will blow up

 

Well 2nd gear works...its kinda strange as it wasn't working before...now that the tranny is cold it works.

Also 1 and drive will not work...so its 1st gear definetly. I just dunno what to do next.

 

So what could it be if 2nd works, reverse works? I haven't tried to do any driving after it clunked.

I'm praying a good flush will fix it...
