Ford ranger trans lost reverse and 1st?
I have a 1999 3.0 v6 automatic ranger. It does not go in to reverse or drive you have to put It into drive 2 and then when you get up to around 20 mph you can put it into normal drive and it works fine. Can I rebuild it. What kind of rebuild kit do I need. How much do you Think it'll cost. What kind of trans do I have. And what other kind of trans will fit in this truck. If I can't rebuild it
A4LD or A4LD-E.
I have seen alot of them get rebuilt.
It's one of the ones that is cost effective to repair,
Or at least it was then.
The trick is to make a list of all the failed parts within, price them.
Then get a price on a Fred Jones remanufactured one.
at least thats how it was last time I looked.
Ask for the most current info from your ford parts counter
in your area.
Transmission kits and special tools can be bought by anyone.
But diagnostics, schooling, and ability is all on the one who rebuilds it. What else fits? Ask a yard with a hollander interchange manual. Probably not good for a computer in a truck to try and fool it.
You could go have a chat with an independent trans shop and see where their numbers lie these days as well.
Well for tools you'll need. Snap ring pliers, bushing installers/removers, pump alignment tool, spring compressor, torque wrench foot and inch pound. Manual to walk you through end play and so forth. Kit with all frictions and steels along with bushings plus bands there's 3. Along with servos bushing kit. Transmission is a 4R44E. Plus the torque converter. Transtar1.com sell parts and the manual about 600 dollars in parts. Maybe more if you find some hard part wear which is a common problem with this transmission
Sounds like a failure in the Low/Reverse clutch.
How many automatic transmissions have you previously rebuilt? Clutch packs mostly operate the same, C-clips are C-clips, planetary gearsets are also pretty much the same. HOWEVER, many transmissions require special jigs and tools to get them set up right. How good are you at installing seals and reassembling the components without damaging those seals? Absolute cleanliness is VERY important then doing a trans overhaul! You can't even use red shop rags because that red lint will find its way into the valve body and screw the pooch in mysterious ways.
Does repairing it yourself still sound like a good idea?
- I have a Ford Ranger 4.0 and the AC doesn't blow very cool air. I want to add refrigerant for very 1st time, never have added to any vehicle? I'm using a gauge to test the pressure. With AC on max the needle moves between 25 and 45, the blue normal range. The compressor cuts on at 45 and off at 25. This happens continuously. The outside temp is 80 degrees. Not exactly understanding what I was doing, I added a little refrigerant and now the needle goes to 47 in the yellow range. Will this do any harm? Can I remove the excess refrigerant? If so, how? Is the system fully charged? If so, why isn't the air cooler?
- Have 98 Ford Ranger, 4.0, 171,000 miles, auto trans with limited slip. I've owned truck since new and have changed trans fluid every 30-35 000 miles and have never towed anything. The majority of the 171,000 miles are interstate driving. The truck shifts fine with no jerking or slippage. What I do get is thump(s) in rear end when I come to a stop, as gears are downshifting. Do I need a new transmission? Any suggestions? I suppose it's a "clunk" I hear and feel when I come to a stop, not a thump.
- Ford Ranger 4.0, 172,000 miles rough idle when starting after sitting overnight or after 2-3 hours. Starts 1st crank, idles rough 1 minute? Or so and then smooths out and runs fine. New heads and gaskets. Cleaned MAF sensor, throttle body and air intake sensor, new IAC valve, new air and fuel filters, new PCV valve. No smoke coming from exhaust and No check engine light. Any ideas what's causing this rough idle?
