Replying to: fomocobro1 (Jan 01, 2009 10:14 pm) sounds like you have clutch problems, dont try to drive it, have it towed to a shop or home, not much action on this site is there?
#156 of 215 99 ranger transmission question by 440duster Jan 12, 2009 (6:53 pm)
I have a 99' Ranger XLT 4X4 3.0L auto. I have lost reverse, but shifts great otherwise. I've been looking for a good used tranny, but all I can find are 2WD models. My question is, can the tail housing be swapped out to bolt up to my transfer case? And if so, how difficult of a job is it? It is the 4R44E model.
#157 of 215 No 4th Gear (Overdrive) by stevegintn Jan 21, 2009 (8:42 am)
I have an '88 Ranger, 2.9 V6, automatic that I just had a new (rebuilt) engine installed. However, after getting it back from the shop, the transmission will not shift into overdrive.   The transmission was rebuilt about 3 years ago, and has about 5K on it.   The repair shop that replaced the engine says it's not *their* fault. The transmission shop that did the r&r on it says it's prob 'electrical' (maybe a solenoid) and wants $400 to fix (crazy!).   Any ideas?

#158 of 215 Clutch Slave Cylinder by Unhappy Jan 21, 2009 (11:15 am)
Hi,   I have a 2003 Explorer Sport, and I believe it has the same body as a Ford Ranger. It has 58,500 miles and is under a 100K, 7 year warrantly. I was told by my Ford repair shop that I need to have the Clutch Slave Cylinder replaced, and the price is $700 plus, as my warranty will not cover it. They it is not part of the transmission. From what I read in this blog, this appears to be a known design defect with this truck. Although I've been a Ford owner all my life, I think it's time to switch.

Replying to: Unhappy (Jan 21, 2009 11:15 am) Yeah, that bites, don't it?! - but 'clutch' anything should be part of Ford's 'Drive Train Warranty'. I'd consult another Ford shop, or contact Ford Motor Company, Inc.   My Dad drove Ford trucks all his life, and I have, too - own 3 right now - would NEVER switch to Chevy or Dodge! (don't even mention a rice-burner).

Replying to: stevegintn (Jan 21, 2009 8:42 am) I don't have any technical advice but the shop is responsible since it was working before they did the engine overhaul.Are you sure they hooked the O.D. wire up? Replies to this message: stevegintn (Jan 21, 2009 4:59 pm)

Replying to: jre56 (Jan 21, 2009 4:03 pm) What's the 'overdrive wire'? (I'm not sure about anything they did)

Replying to: Unhappy (Jan 21, 2009 11:15 am) Thanks for your reply. I talked to both Ford Motor Company and the Extended Warranty company. Ford has 4 Extended Warranty Programs: I have the next to the top, and only the most expensive program covers it as a separate item. They say it is not covered as part of the transmission.   So, apparently, this part can go out anytime, regardless of mileage, and each time, Ford gets to drop the transmission to replace it, and charge the consumer over 5 times the worth of the repair. I no longer trust Ford. Replies to this message: stevegintn (Jan 29, 2009 7:33 am)

Replying to: Unhappy (Jan 29, 2009 7:19 am) OK, well, sorry to hear that - most people (like us) don;t have a clue about the 'fine print' in those so-called warranties. I had a similar experience, years ago, with a then-new '92 F-150. The fuel pump went out, which was (brilliantly) under the bed - cost me several hundred dollar for them to basically, remove the truck bed, to get to a 50 dollar part. That was pretty tough, as I was still paying (Ford) for the truck.

Replying to: stevegintn (Jan 21, 2009 8:42 am) Just to update on this, my transmission shop (that rebuilt it, 3 years ago) finished going through the transmission, and said THERE IS NO PROBLEM with it. They now think it's an ECM (electronic control module, aka 'brain') issue, as several fault codes came up, including codes for (guess what?), the overdrive and the cruise control (which also quit working). So that points back to the engine replacement job. Going to see an attorney about it, Monday. Replies to this message: stevegintn (Feb 14, 2009 6:24 am)
