2011 Ford Ranger 4x4 V6 5R55E. Whirring noise in first and reverse, harsh shifts, thump when fully letting off gas, you wonder if it's going to shift up a gear when accelerating, random "binding/running out gas feeling at highway speeds and now once at a complete stop, car no longer creeps forward once you release the brakes.

I can't think of it being anything else it would be.

Also for any owners with the same spec? Are these slow? And when I mean slow, I mean once the light turns green, you have every car trying to pass you because you're not getting up to speed. I feel like I have to floor it just to get to speed. It feels like I'm towing something behind me.
