I have a 2000 ranger automatic transmission. 2wheel drive. It was rebuilt and has about 35000 miles on it. It shifts fine but between 2 and 3rd it slips. Fluid was recently changed and everything. I have adjusted bands and still does this. Any one know the issue?

 

Welcome to the forum

Google: Ford Ranger 2-3 Flare
Fairly common issue, but has a few different possible causes
Most common is low pressure, all automatics run on ATF Fluid pressure, its what makes them "automatics", lol

Also have a read here, not the whole thing but the parts about the 4R and 5R transmissions: https://atracom.blob.core.windows.ne...0_web_ford.pdf

 

I adjusted the solenoid and now that fixed everything except the over drive when I floor it going down the road like to get into passing gear it flare then redline until I take my foot all the way off gas. Would this be because I need to adjust bands? As I do know how to adjust them.
