95 splash 3.0 4x4
Hey guys. I own a 95 ranger splash 3.0 4x4 automatic with the step-side bed. I also own a 99 ranger extended cab 4x4 with manual trans. I'm a female with some mechanical abilities. I can change my brakes, alternator, tires etc.. I know what a torque converter is and an even valve so I not totally lost. I can even drop my own tranny. But repairing it is another thing....

Welcome to the forum
Repairing automatic transmissions is not common knowledge, even at transmission shops, lol
Yes there are very very poor automatic transmission repair shops around, which tend to give automatic transmissions a bad rep.

From your other thread
You have a 4R44E transmission, which is a good transmission considering the number of them out there and the failures.
Having Reverse, even marginally, means pump was working, but good to test it, Reverse, in any automatic, requires the highest pressure to engage, 150+psi
All automatics run on pressure, thats how clutches are engaged and released, and how bands(brakes) are applied and released.
The most common failure in automatics is loss of pressure, so you lose Reverse first, and shifts will "flare", rpms go up and down between gear changes.
This is caused by lower pressure, pressure loss can be gaskets and seals failing or the pump.
With lower pressure the clutches can't hold and neither can the bands, so both start to get worn out, you would find clutch and band friction material in the pan fluid.
Since you have Reverse your pressure should be OK for Forward gears, so best guess would be the Forward one-way clutch has failed, and that means full rebuild or replacement of trans
Its a tranny from a 1995 ford ranger 3.0 liter. I checked the fluid levels like you suggested and they altered when off/on so my pump is working .....if it was not working wouldn't my tranny be getting hot? Its really perplexing me. I am not afraid to get under this truck. I will do what I have to.just tell me please.I live off-grid in the Mojave desert 30 miles from any people. I need to get my truck running asap!
