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.

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.

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?

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

95 Ranger Not going in Park by chapinjohn

Today as I parked (XLT 4.0 automatic) and attempted to put the gear selector
in Park and the truck eased forward. I turned off the ignition and
now it will not turn over. The gear selector will go into the Park position (and
out of park by pressing the brake pedal ) but
the truck can be pushed forward so its not in park. I crawled under
and moved cable back and forward. Problem evidently isn't there.
Ignition seems okay, on and off checks the power door locks.
Is there a sensor or relay I should look at?

So I have a 99 automatic Ford ranger and had some issues that started a month ago. First it wouldn't start so I took the alarm off and it ran again. Now I have to put it in 2nd to get it moving and when it hits about 3000 to 4000 rpms I slip it into drive.... if I drop below 3000 rpms it slips out of gear....and does nothing.... What can I do can someone help?
