#46 of 215 99 Ford Ranger Drivetrain Slippage by alamoranger Aug 18, 2007 (7:39 am)
I recently purchased a `99 Ranger 4x4 xlt. I like it a lot. It has the 3.0 L motor, manual 5 speed trans.   It seems to be slipping, but not at the clutch. Are there known problems with either the trans or the rear end? It's only slipping a little bit like at the axle spline or maybe the tail shaft of the trans, not sure.   Thanks for you input.   AlamoRanger Replies to this message: efreck (Aug 27, 2007 12:04 pm)

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT w/automatic transmission (3spd + OD). Yesterday all of a sudden it didn't want to go into D/OD, so I put it in 2, then D/OD & it did fine. There seems to be a long delay when shifting from P to D/OD or N to D/OD, but not from 2 to D/OD. It also doesn't matter if I have the OD turned on or off. I'm hoping that it's a simple fix...that since I actually have a D/OD that it'll be nothing internal, but i'm no mechanic. Thanks for reading.

I want to change the transmission oil in my '97 Ranger. Do I have to drop the pan in order to do so? If yes, is there a gasket to replace? Is there a filter in the transmission? Replies to this message: bolivar (Oct 24, 2007 12:46 pm) marty20 (Nov 19, 2007 8:40 am) lance420 (Apr 29, 2009 12:22 pm)

Replying to: jclark07 (Oct 23, 2007 5:50 pm) I'm not a tranny expert, but one simple thing that will cause slam shifts is a bad vacumn modular valve on the tranny. Or, a big leak in the hose that goes to it.   This will be a small 'can' that plugs into the side of the tranny. It will have a hose, probably a combination of rubber and steel line' that runs from it to a vacumn source on the intake.

Replying to: marty20 (Oct 24, 2007 8:30 am) Yes, you have to drop the pan. Yes, you should replace the gasket. Yes, there is a filter to replace.   When you buy the filter, there should be a new gasket included.   When you drop the pan, wipe the inside of the pan clean to get rid of the grim inside.   Make sure you get the new filter in place correctly.   Be sure to check your owners manual for the correct kind of tranny fluid to be used to refill.   If you have a large pan to catch the oil (it's going to come out all around the pan when you get the bolts loose), and something to measure (old 1 gallon milk jug), you should measure how much fluid you get out of the tranny. This will then give you a good idea of how much to pour back into the tranny after changing it.   Put about 1 quart less than what you catch out, then start and idle the motor, shifting thru the gears. Then check it again. Bring it up to where it's into the hash marks on the stick. Then drive it for a few miles, enough to get it warmed up nicely, than check it again and bring it up to full mark.

Replying to: jgkc9ayc (Oct 10, 2007 8:45 am) Did you find the issue? Mine just started with that problem and now it is slipping for all gears. I have to rev it up to get it into gear until the pressure is built up and it will shift. A mechanic said he thought it was a torque converter clutch soloneoid. What did you find out?

Replying to: jcapshaw (Oct 25, 2007 1:39 pm) I'm having a similar problem, i have a 94 and when i start it cold it doesn't find 1st right away i have to rev it a few times and then it might slip out of gear until the engine warms up a bit. then when I'm cruising around 45mph it can't make up its mind about shifting up or down so it fumbles around a bit until either slow down or feed it some more gas.  If this isn't enough info feel free to ask a few questions and ill try and fill in the blanks best i can but i need a little help before i take it to get fixed cause I'm not looking forward to having some idiot charge me an arm and a leg to replace my trans if i dont have to
